Goodbye To narrator

Demelza

Taroona, Tasmania

Australia

 

Goodbye to narrator
Cheerio see you later
Your presence will stay in my mind
Your lay was out good—your manners as should
And comments were always so kind

But alas I’ve been tight
In supporting your site
The monies just didn’t come in
I’ve guilt like a barb—I hope you don’t starve
Because of my horrible sin

Thanks for the edited
Yes! There now I’ve said it
I’ve learnt such a lot from this site
So receive my confessings with millions of blessings
I hope you’ll continue to write

Goodbye my dear friends
Keep hold of your pens
Perhaps we can still be in touch
Right now I have grief with high unbelief
And think I have written much

Bio: Demelza has nothing more to say but hopes her poem says it for her.

    A t times like this – we must be gentle.
    R emember all the fantastic writing on this site,
    R ecall all the wisdom (?) be it wrong or right!
    A ll glories to Jenny, Ally and Sarah,
    T o all other writers – may you always bear a(n)…
    O bligation to these three who helped you along,
    R espectfully, I say join in the song – of praise.
