Creating comfort
At a time when the known and granted
Are taken from us
Some take action
While others slow down
Each making the way to sense the firmness once more.
I cannot be so creative to make it ultra safe
To be tear free,
Taking a chance
On the way each day goes
Or in the length of queue.
It is in the smallest remembering
Of tastes and smells,
Sights and speaking
The brave and selfless
Contrast the self centred-ness of some celebrities.
So it is we face a parting
A new edition of life begins
With love and sadness, hope for future
And in how the custard and baked apple
Give comfort when it’s time to change.
