Only a whisper away


Original Author Unknown.

I'm only a whisper away

Come, dry your tears, smile again, love,
I'm only a whisper away,
Near in the dusk of the evening,
Just out of sight through the day.
Watching you waking and sleeping,
Hearing each prayer that you pray,
Sending my love to surround you,
I'm only a whisper away.
Come, dry your tears, smile again, love,
Remember the good times we've known,
Cherish the joy we discovered -
Love that was planted and grown

Your road may seem lonely ahead,
And distant horizons look grey,
You won't be walking alone, dear,
I'm only a whisper away.

  • Hi Kathy,

    What a lovely poem. Thanks for posting this as I feel it will ring a cord with many people.

    Weather here today is wet and windy, unlike the last couple of days which were very nice.

    I was expecting a photo of your latest cooking when I saw your name ha ha. So I will just mention, I am still eating my half price cheese biscuits. Have got to ease off on the nuts as I have just had two teeth filled today. My pocket huts as much as my teeth now.

    Take care Kathy, sending best wishes and kind thought (and a few crumbs of my cheese biscuits) your way, your forum buddie Brian.

     

  • Hi Brian,
    More pics of culinary delights will be on the way at the start of June when I have the Kidlets for 3 days -can't wait.
    Attended memorial svc today in memory of those who passed Oct 2014-March 2015 run by our local palliative team and this poem was read out. I thought it was just beautiful.  Son has spent 2 nights here with me which has been wonderful and he has been of such great support.  I am very fortunate.
    I am so glad you are enjoying your cheese biccies, what a bargain too.
    Very wet here too but never fear, I have wellies at the ready.
    Sorry to hear about your trip to the dentist.  I am not game to eat toffee or peanut brittle, much though I love it as don't want to lose any fillings.
    Heading off to bed soon,
    Take care Brian and best wishes to the ever patient Mrs B.

  • Thank you Kathy for posting that lovely poem. It is certainly comforting for anyone who has lost someone to death. That's the beauty of this forum; there are so many ways that members provide warmth and comfort to each other from day to day.

    Take care.

  • My mum had this quote engraved on my dad's headstone ONLY A WHISPER AWAY, . He died 2002 from lung cancer . 

  • What a lovely poem made me cry .made me feel like my husband is sitting next to me.

    Thank you .

  • It really says it all doesn't it.  I found it brought me great comfort as I faced the future on my own.  
    Hugs
    Kathy
     

  • hi kathys..not sure if you will ever read this, but i just wanted to say. how are you today ?  i ve just read your poem from a while ago, called,   only a whisper away,  that is so lovely,  and those words i will remember....... my dad is terminal. but at the moment with treatment doing well,  i shall keep those words close to my heart, as i know some day in the future im going to need them.....thankyou...and i love that beautyfull cat with green eyes avatar pic, we have a cat, she has blue eyes..  she follows me everywhere, ....cococat

  • Hi Cococat, Sorry to see the reason you are here. Thank you for your kind words. I am doing fine. Cat Avatar passed 2 weeks after hubby passed. Bit of a double whammy, but kfa was his cat therefore I believe he wanted his mate with him for company. Told him he couldn't take the other 2 pets before their time so I still have them. Our loved ones are only a whisper away and you may think I am quite mad but I often talk to the old man still Take care Kathy xx
  • Hi Kathy,

    Glad to read you are okay. Mrs B has promised if I behave she will do me some cheese straws/bicuits for Christmas. Its awful hard having to behave for as you can probably guess, its not my nature to behave ha ha, Brian.
