Sharp Sadness!


I sit here looking at pictures of my
mum and dad and smile back at their
carefree happy faces. They were so young
and such an attractive couple and so in love!

I see them arm in arm on a street corner
being photographed by a street photographer.
Then there they are on their wedding day and
don't they look pleased with themselves.

And then there is that glowing, smiling
honeymoon picture! They were so sparkly looking
and so young, oh so very young!

I smile at the picture of them both clowning
and hugging. That picture was taken about 6 months
before I was born, so you could say that I
was in that picture!

I look at myself being cuddled in my
dad's arms. He looks so proud and I look
so comfortable and so cute.

In every picture my mum has a cheeky, naughty
teasing smile on her face. My dad has a coy, shy
mysterious look about him. I'm a bit of a mixture
I think.

I sit and look with my heart and my eyes. I feel a
sharp sadness. I wonder who will sit and remember
me in this way after I have left this world!

I never had a child! Who will remember me? Who will
miss me and feel the sense of loss that I feel
right now. I feel such a sharpness in my heart
at the thought of having no one to miss me!

I sit and look at the pictures of my beautiful
mum and dad and remember all their memories
for them. I smile with a tear in my eyes!

Joy Weare.
5th March, 2005.
