Gone

When a Loved one passes, the curtain's drawn; A star on your stage is forever Gone. There's no round trip, no returning, Leaving emptiness filled with only yearning. Time is precious with those we Love, If taken for granted, the importance of, With regret, we could be left, Resentful, bitter about the theft Of time, we feel's been stolen away But time really, we allowed to stray. When a Loved one's Gone, reality hits. Your heart feels shattered into bits. If however, you have no doubt Your Loved one knew well about How Loved they were and still, they are, And in your life they were, are a star, There is solace in knowing they knew Before they left to be Gone from you. Too often we think there's plenty of time, Until one day there's a missing chime, A chime we'll miss making our clock Not quite in sync with its missing tock. Our heart will still beat but not without ache For no one can fill in the permanent break. Those we rely on, their Love, their support, We must never abandon, forget in our court. Trust that's built, taken years to do, Can't be redone the same, as true. Gone is forever, can't be undone. So, we must cherish each Loved one, For we never can know which day is the last, When a dearest presence will be Gone to our past.
