Today you’re gone
You came to say goodbye
You sat at my bedside
I was happy you remembered me
The moment was fleeting
But it warmed my heart
To see you once more
To hear your voice
To know you knew I cared
I should not dwell on the sadness
But happy for where you are
You’re not gone
In the hearts of those who love you
I shed my tears
For the regrets I held
With your permission
I will let them go
Because I love you so
Always I will love you so
Welcome to The Rocking Chair Corner. It serves as a kind of diary for me, an incomplete depository of pieces of my life, my thoughts, my joys, my sorrows. Sometimes I include pictures so that I don’t have to search for words. Once in a great while, I attempt to put into English feelings others expressed in their non-English writings, or into my language feelings others expressed in English. Join me in a circle of rocking chairs. Kick off your shoes, sip your wine or tea, relax, and enjoy.

Crying Heart
With a heavy heart
I cry out inside
I understand the cycle
But why does it have to be now?
I was still waiting for a trip
For the two of us
We’ll visit Russia
And all the places you wish to see
I appreciate the moments
I had with you in May
I didn’t want it to be the last time
We were together
I didn’t expect your leaving
I cry out inside
I understand the cycle
But why does it have to be now?
I was still waiting for a trip
For the two of us
We’ll visit Russia
And all the places you wish to see
I appreciate the moments
I had with you in May
I didn’t want it to be the last time
We were together
I didn’t expect your leaving
To come so soon
I’ll carry a
wound in my heart
In my heart you
forever will be
