Now the school holidays are here, I have my 'grandma duties', looking after Ross and Kieron. Ross stayed over from Sunday to yesterday (Wednesday) and Kieron came round each day. I'm missing them today and feeling a bit down but Ross will be back again on Sunday. Paul often put his thoughts and feelings into verse, so I'm giving it a try.
"Missing Paul"
People ask me how I am,
I smile and say "OK".
But the emptiness I feel inside
Is with me every day.
Putting on a brave face
At times is hard to do.
I'm missing Paul so very much,
I struggle to get through.
I tell myself that Paul would say,
"Please Mum, don't be sad".
But I miss so much the special
Love and friendship that we had.
I miss our chats over the phone,
Sometimes quite late at night.
If only we had a magic wand,
We'd have put the world to right.
Friends offer words of comfort,
"Time helps to ease the pain".
But right now my only thought is,
I won't see my Paul again.
