Ode to Liam
Ode to Liam 23/01/2011
by Linda Hillier
Liam passed away on 8/04/2009 aged 45
Oh how my heart yearns for you
That once was my dearest friend
We travelled many miles with each other
shared our thoughts and passions
We put the world to rights time and again
You were my sanctuary from life's woes
Never asking or expecting anything from me
freely giving me everything you could
It was only when you were taken from me
That I realised what a gift I had lost
The gap left in my heart so big,
A chasm I was unable to fill
Why oh why you i cried out in sorrow
It should have been me for you were no age
The angels took a piece of my heart
On the day they took you
One day soon I will again travel with you
For such is the fate of mankind

About this poem:
TODAY is The ANNIVERSARY of Liam's Passing I hope no-one minds me bringing it back to top of leader boardLiam was a special friend who was disabled and sadly a recluse who did me the honour of giving me his friendship although only friends not lovers I miss him terribly
It was a sad death Liam as a recluse died alone I got worried when he didn't answer his phone and went to the police they broke in and found my dear friend passed away he died of a brain aneurysm
Today I mourn his passing and wish I had been there maybe if he hadn't been alone he would still be with us
