We are trying something completely different with the April theme.  We're introducing the concept of Togetherness poems, where verses are written by different poets. We hope you'll contribute to our first Togetherness poem, which has been started off by our Resident Poet. If you wish to add a verse to the poem, please email your contribution to submission@poetryretreat.co.uk

Everyone
Togetherness
Is something - I confess,
means more than words can say,
I love to feel this way.
A feeling  never to let go.
My family, how I love so.

Togetherness
We were blessed
To walk a while together.
Now we have separated
And the bond severs
I look back at what together we created.

Togetherness...
Hand to hand, next to you I stand
Heart to heart, you and I will never part
As I hold you next to me
We become one,
that's why you married me.

Always together we will be
Is the way I feel today
Having you always in my life
Just as on our wedding day
When I became your wife.

Togetherness...
By colliding in love's wilderness
Two souls conjoined as one -
This union meant a stronger heart
Which no-one could rent apart
Nor could loneliness outrun!

Black and white we are but one
to make this world a place
Each a heart gave by God
And a smile for every face
Love, don't hate pray as one
Just do what you know is right
When our journey finally ends
 In God's heaven we will reunite.

Togetherness...
Means more than words can say
To walk awhile together
We become one
Having you always in my life
By colliding in love's wilderness
 In God's heaven we will reunite.
