Can you see too? The view from my window? Are you watching? Can you feel the warm sun and the gentle breeze? You ARE still here! You live on in my heart You are my View Creative Writing from Exeter Support Day March 2025 We didn’t get to go through much together I was your whole life; you were half of mine Only memories and small moments remain How am I supposed to live on without you? I search for you in the sky every evening Looking in the clouds for the shine of your eyes I step into this New Year without you And count the minutes of sleepless nights I can’t share with anyone about us Can’t tell anyone how much it hurts The time we were given passed so fast Our years together now feel like a moment Busy, busy Children running Children squealing We’ve arrived! A day at the beach Children splashing Wet clothes Cold wind Towel to dry little legs Sun hats on Sandy snacks Sticky fingers Ice creams! Time to go home Shake the rug Pack up the bags Fast asleep Happy dreams Rosemary Moffat also writes: Andrea gave us a prompt to think about a time when we were happy. This is difficult because happy times ‘before’ are now tainted with sadness and longing. But a happy time for me was when my children were young and I was a busy mum. This piece is about a day out at the beach. The View From The Window by Rosemary Moffat Poem by Inna Yevko for her daughter Albina
