Description
We gave ourselves to each other
(says the deceased to their wife/husband/partner)
You were always, always so good to me
Sharing your love and compassion, so genuine and so free
Your kindness, generosity, consideration and care
Were welcome, as was the time we had together, the time we had to share
We gave ourselves to each other, as lovers in love should do

Be you family, friends or acquaintances; farewell and best wishes are sent to you
At my side in the sad days, and when occasionally I was in despair
I could always rely upon you, though hopefully, those days were very rare
To the one from whom destiny I part
Please move on and carve out a new life for yourself
With support from those around you, a new start Its no use mourning me forever,
Time will heal, you must make it so
Make the most of the years ahead of you
Life is precious, too precious to forgo Goodbye my dear (name of the partner), goodbye.
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.
