Gone Golfing
If the round should start without me
because I have passed away
Cherish the swings that we once made
and please continue to play
For I’ll be watching from a gallery
with a magnificent view
With friends and family from the past
all cheering with pride for you
May each tricky putt find the hole
your drives fly far and straight
And when you’ve taken your final shot
let’s meet at the Pearly Gates
I’ll have tee time booked in Heaven
on the grandest course of all
And we’ll go golfing once again
chasing that little white ball

Hi David, I somehow came across your poems online and just thought I’d write to say how much I have enjoyed them. I have a little poetry site myself and always feel so disappointed when I know I’ve had visitors to the site but they don’t leave any comments! So well done you – you’re very talented 🙂
Best wishes

Hi Anita, thank you for such a thoughtful and encouraging message. I completely understand what you mean about comments. Hearing from a real person always makes the writing feel worthwhile. Your kind words truly meant a lot to me, and I appreciate the support coming from a fellow poet. I’ll be sure to check out your site as well.
Best wishes,
David
Hi David, I came across your poems somehow online and just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed them – they are so warm and yet not too ‘heavy’! Well done – keep writing 🙂
Kind regards
Anita Brooke
Hi Anita, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. That really means a lot to me. I try to keep my poems heartfelt and comforting without being too heavy, so your words truly encouraged me. I appreciate the kindness and support more than you know.
Wishing you all the best,
David
