"You were only 37 when you went to Heaven, you would now be 87".
I often asked Why, Where, What, Who, When?
I got the answers from a letter to my dad's mum you sent.
dated 1959 and I read in 2004 when dad went.
Lump in throat chokes me and tears still fill my eyes,
for my mum who struggled with pressure and the lies;
That caused you to go away that day in September;
I will never forget, but I will always remember.
Today; 50 years on, to acknowledge and mark;
I am lighting a Solar Flower Candle to shine in the dark.
"For my mum, who I never got to know; may your ray of light forever glow".
