Love Poem: Clive

Clive

You saw the hidden talents in me
Things that even I couldn’t see
You encouraged me to learn new things
Qualifications and the glory it brings

All the things that I have done
Your support has spurred me on
I wrote a book and some poetry too
All these things I did because of you

I learnt to drive and you were patient then
I bumped the car but I drove again
I once got the car stuck on the drive
You never stayed angry with me Clive

You lived your life and it was full
Life was happy and never dull
You loved the kids and they loved you
A wonderful dad and husband too

Life goes on as it always has done
I carry on now that you have gone
No one knows how life will be
I thank you Clive for supporting me

Since you’ve been gone I have had to move on
Got my freelance journalist diploma done
I have had a novel published of that I am proud
I can play guitar and keyboard I sing out loud

Nothing can change what you did for me Clive
I am so glad you did but sad you’re not alive
I have followed my heart and now I am gay
Lot’s of things I have done since you passed away

I think of you fondly as you were good too me
Rest in peace now coz what will be will be
You won’t ever have to suffer over life anymore
God has taken you away and shut the door
