When You Went Away: The Perfect Gift for Those Who Love Memories and Poetry

By Barron Pilgrim

This book is full of memories and emotions, and memories of those we love and have loved. Theres so much more to say; yet weve touched some feelings, so that we can again feel what we felt then. We trust the reader will love and enjoy these simple past experiences and ideas we hear everyday.
Experiences with feelings, could that explain the poetry, and helpfully something that everyone can be given as a gift to someone who has experienced a loss. We all have and will several times during our life that seems so brief.

DEDICATION

There are hundreds of people I would love to name that have meant

so much to me during my lifetime. I would like to mention my

brother-in-law J.T Wade. I’ve always adored his good common

sense and work habits and the good man he is, and my dear

sister Lucille

Mixed With Life

A book mixed with life

And times that come to an end.

From romance to death, all has

A beginning and most times an ending.

Much of the times in our life what we

Remember most are the surprises,

Or unplanned turns in our lives

That can leave you searching for

Answers.

Unfortunately all of us are to

Face circumstances in our lives

That makes us stronger or leave

Us devastated. How we react

To the storms of our life, tell us much

About ourselves.

We try to romanticize about all

The felling of life’s separations, and

Its fall of them. In a difficult

Time, its wise to take some time,

Relax and sort out the feelings and

We hope their book is entertaining as

Well as eye opening.

I Believe

I’ve come to believe,

Poets and all they said,

About love and God,

How they are entwined,

For our space,

From hello to goodbye,

And how brief.

Makes our life worthwhile.

How blest we are with

Years full.

I knew when you passed,

You would never be just a memory,

But part of my faith,

In all we believe.

Time

Those events that hold time,

When time stands still,

When we cannot move forward,

A door so hard to choose,

We linger there

Needing time to heal,

A word, of confidence,

Another view,

Faith,

And more time, for us,

To understand.

Who

Who put yellow

In a stone park

And the blue in the sky

And sprinkled sand around the oceans

And made Everest so high?

Who placed the oceans?

So near the shore?

We ask silly questions

We knew before

Like the velvet in sunsets

See the last tint of grey

Like the pretty rainbow

On a winters day?

We know most the answers

How quickly colors fade

The beauty is in passing

Life’s so much that way

Who planned it so perfectly?

The nights and the days

All the things to help us see

The beauty of his ways?

Life Sounds

I’ve heard life’s sounds

Trees falling in ice storms,

Trains passing,

Babies crying,

People saying goodbye,

Families breaking up,

Thunderstorms overhead,

The rooster crowing three times,

The wind in early spring,

Prayers, that could silence all,

We knew God was listening.

His Private Thoughts

If you’ll believe in me

I’ll give you water and you’ll

Never thirst again

And at your wedding

I’ll turn water into wine

Your faith will feed the multitude

Ask what you will

I’ll let you walk on the water at times

I’ll calm the storms in your life

I’ll
