If Heaven has a park somewhere where I could visit for a day
I know exactly where I’d go, and who I’d run to on the way
I’d see the faces that I miss waiting underneath the trees
And in that quiet summer light you’d be standing there for me
I think about that sometimes what it would feel like to see you again
If Heaven has a park, I’d run straight into your arms hold you like I never did before
Safe from all the harm.
I’d tell you that I love you, all the words I never said
If Heaven has a park I’d spend the whole day there instead
We’d sit together on a bench like we used to long ago
Talking about the little things the only way we know
I’d laugh and cry at the same time just grateful you were there
Feeling all the love again, floating in the air
Just one day that would be enough
And when a song begins to fade and I have to say goodbye
I’d walk away in quiet peace even if I cry until the day I see you again
If Heaven has a park I know one day I’ll see you
And all the ones my heart still holds are waiting there for me.
Save me a place on that bench.
Its seven and a half months since my lovely husband passed away and this poem really struck a chord with me. We went to our local park most days when he was well, sit on a bench listen to the birds and just enjoy each others company. We were married for 55 years, two bodies but one soul. I feel half of me is missing, Some days are worse than others and of late I have felt so emotional. I have read that in the early days of loss grief is at its height but there is so much to do what with making arrangements and sorting out all the legal stuff like probate and wills. However, there comes a time when the tasks are done and you are left with time on your hands and a grief that comes in waves disturbing sleep and bringing tears at the drop of a hat.
I can only hope that in time things will get better day by day
I would be packing a picnic basket straight away to visit that park with plenty of special treats for my lovely wife. Great poem
Tom
