Maybe

"I took a stroll through Sefton Park sat,and gazed across the lake, the pigeons, ducks, and graceful swans, what a beautiful site they make. Golden leaves blew in the autumn wind, they rustled, and swirled about the ground, I sat alone, deep within my thoughts, there was no one else around. I turned up my collar, slowly lowered my head, then the tears began to fall, the misty rain caressed my face, and hid the pain of my recall. Why do loved ones have to go? oh why do they pass away? Childhood memories torment my mind on this cold November day, then suddenly, I heard a lovely sound that stopped me feeling glum, a little boy was feeding the ducks, and laughing with his mum. But as I looked up, strangely I was still alone, there was nobody that I could see, the ghostly fun, and laughter, I know I heard, maybe that was mum....and me."

A sad time Frank when one loses a loved one, but I feel that they are always near watching over us. Your poem is beautiful.

That's really lovely, I can't decide if the mums dead and it's a memory or if the character is dead and seeing his past? Either way, it brought a tear to my eye. :)

Thanks for the comment PTSD X......Yeah..it was about a weird feeling I experienced while sitting in a local park that my mother used to take me when I was just a little boy......I still like to go there sometimes, and feel her presence..........she died in 1978 ....thanks again...
