Poem
Day, my lifelong friend, Thousands of times we have said good morning to each other and As many times we have said goodnight. You have wakened me up with the caresses of the sun’s rays and You have put me to sleep with the lullabies of sunset’s myriad hues. Sometimes, you were calm as a harbor's waters, and other times you were Turbulent as the stormy sea But I loved you the same, thus inseparable we have remained throughout The years, holding hands from dawn till dusk. How many times have I, anxiously, waited for you to come, you will Never know Neither will you know how much I have prayed to see you faster go when Unkind you were to me, However, You kept your pace unchanged, obeying only to the will of mighty time. All these years you have brought to me: Sorrows and joys, Tears and laughter, Failures and successes, Sickness and health, Death but also life. You were the best of my friends and the worst of my enemies but Side by side we stood, united and determent. How could otherwise be when we both wished our destiny to fulfill? Now, my eternal friend, the circle of my life is almost complete. The days for me on this planet are numbered. How many more times are we going to salute each other is Unknown to all but God, So Before we say our final goodnight, let me thank you for every Sunrise and every sunset, For all the sunshine and all the storms you have brought to my life For Without them, an empty vessel, without any experiences would I have been, Useless to everybody and worthless to myself Thus When tomorrow you, my wise friend, come and unable you will be me To awake, do not be disturbed Since Another dawn, brighter than yours, will have welcomed me into its arms for To console me with her everlasting divine love and light! © Demetrios Trifiatis 24 November 2021 *Due to the recent serious health problems that brought me face to face with death, I decided to edit and repost an older poem of mine with the same title.
