Description
Thank you for being in my life
My dearest friends and family
You’ve meant a lot to me
But sadly, I am somewhat now bereft of life
Somewhat unexpectedly
Some of you will have good memories
Whilst others of youth maybe not
Of the days we laughed together
Of the company we shared a lot

Thank you for being in my lifeFor all that you have done for me
For your love, your caring, your everyday support
Your forbearance and generosity
Life is for the living
It passes with great haste
Enjoy, my friends and family
It’s too short to do otherwise, or waste
About the Author
Keith Stokes-Smith was brought up in Solihull, moving to Worcestershire in 1997. Writing poems came easy to him in his twenties and early thirties.
In 2016, his mother passed away. Two weeks later, on a train journey to London, he belatedly wrote a bespoke poem for her funeral and wrote it as if she had composed it to be read out by her at her funeral; a strange concept you might think. From then on he found himself uncontrollably inspired to write more adopting words spoken by fictitious people of fictitious ages in fictitious circumstances. In essence, he has tried to be in the mind of the reader. His poems may be considered somewhat unique coupled very often with them having a sense of humour.
