30 years ago on our Day of Past Promises
Our wedding anniversary date rolls by another year.
When I realized the time of year is here again as I write the date in class or
Make an appointment
I am surprised at the empty feeling that arises still ten years later.
You’d say your home was in me but,... you've shipped out
Leaving a Viking sized space Music, Beard, Man, Horns, Shield, Battle Axe, Dragon ship, Ocean, and all.
I see you now
In the faces and gestures of the children you left me to watch grow
I still smell you
On the coat in the hall closet
I miss you

I am stretched on your grave
(Phillip King/Frank O'Connor) <~~~~~ What they said
I am stretched on your grave
And I'll lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
I'd be sure they could not sever
My apple tree, my brightness
It's time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am worn by the weather
When my family thinks
That I'm safely in my bed
From night until morn
I am stretched out at your head
Calling out to the earth
With tears hot and wild
My grief for the girl
That I loved as a child
Do you remember the night we were lost
In the shade of the blackthorn
And the chill of frost
And thanks be to Jesus
We did all that was right
And your maiden head still
Is your pillar of light
The priests and the friars
They approach me in dread
Because I still love you
My love and you're dead
I still would be your shelter
Through rain and through storm
And with you in your cold grave
I cannot sleep warm
So I am stretched on your grave
And will lie there forever
If your hands were in mine
I'd be sure they could not sever
My apple tree, my brightness
It's time we were together
For I smell of the earth
And am worn by the weather
AND how she singing the feelings ~~~~> Sinead O'Connor
