This is our Story - Be very proud of yourselves<3

[chloe40]

After I lost you the pain within me erupted like I’d never known before;

Without warning, the tears would flow; the hurt would grow and loneliness followed.

That crushing loss when you departed;

Broke my dreams before they started.

I thought I was prepared & understood;

But your loss shock my foundations.

I felt such sadness, relief with my final loss.

No longer in haste.

As another birthday goes by;

As another tear I am left here to cry.

As I suffer another year without you here;

I ask myself......why.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,

Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

I always feel your presence and know your near.

and that always helps when I shed my tears.

Two lines per person is very fitting. I get just a sense of common feeling running through them.

When we are ready to graduate to the Advanced class, how about Haiku. That has a seasonal element.. For the Ninja class T.B.A .

Now that's an idea Greyone

Hi, could we take out the word “dad”? It could then resonate for everyone’s loss regardless of who that loss is? At the moment it reads as though it’s for a loss of a dad only.

[chloe40 Administrator in reply to Tilly1000]

I have removed ‘Dad’ but I am not happy about it as it was specifically dedicated to my Dad!

{{{hugs}}} - I suppose there is always a very small chance.

Maybe as a collage on a noticeboard or wall they could stand alone or read in many ways. 4 lines could include a full sentiment in case some mentions different people.

I wouldn’t have contributed if I had realised that this was a post for The loss of your/other fathers only.
