UNFINISHED Halfway through writing this poem I had to break off, so I saved it to a floppy disc under the temporary heading "Unfinished". When I did finish it and tried to think of a title, I realised it already had the best one, so "Unfinished" it is. UNFINISHED You should be full of sadness, It's time for you to go. But in your eyes there's gladness. I wonder what you know? I'm working out the answer; It's written in your face. I think you know you're going To a very special place. Parting will be sorrow And tinged with much regret, But mellowed by the knowledge That you're not finished yet! For you are making me believe That this is not the end But just part of the journey To a new home round the bend And though you won't be with us here And we can't show we care, Others who love you as much Are waiting for you there. And you'll soon make yourself at home The way you always do And when it's our turn you'll be there And waiting for us, too. I wondered why we're waiting, But now no longer guess. The angels had to let us know Your forwarding address. Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
