Christy O'Donnell ,Humour in Poetry.

 

When dawn turns to dusk

friend leaving her job sadly 

As this day ends and dawn calls dusk

A vacant space will be felt by all,

An eerie confusion will become a must,

Who if any will answer our call?

Faces look wondering who will now smile?

 

As light starts to fade and the moon brightly shines,

Dawn sadly leaves hopeful hearts and minds,

We are grateful to you for the time you have spent,

So helpful and kind hearing to all who vent,

Troubles and woes no longer voiced.

 

The space now empty where you would stand,

Asking all without favour if they were grand,

How life was with them on each given day,

Hearing intently what they had to say,

A caring look enough to beguile,

 

A little less light will now grace our day,

Business as usual will continue to stay,

As you leave this place no longer stand here,

We will surely miss you this much is clear,

We wish you every and the best of choice,

 

Faces look for who now may smile,

Troubles or woes to whom will they voice,

Who’s caring stare will now beguile,

Who shall offer some or other choice,

As you dawn, call dusk your one of the best.

 

So, dawn turns to dusk, and you leave our sight,

Having given to so many a smile warm and bright,

Here’s to you for playing your part,

And showing one and all you have a good heart.

Held dear by so many good health and God bless.
