Poem
People come and people go. Here and there, to and fro, High above and down below. Why on earth did you have to go? What did the angels say, When you flew up there on that snowy day? I bet they cried and welcomed you home, And it proved to you, You were never alone. And then you grew wings, Like an eagle in flight, And you're seen in the stars, Every single night. I saw dark, and you saw the light, And since that day, I've lost my sight. But for once in my life, I can see so clear, No matter what I know, You've always been near, Even though you're not with me, It's ok, I have a little less fear. Because your fear, Was finally dismissed, If I had just one wish, It's to hear your voice, And give you one last kiss, And it's your laughter that I miss. Somewhere out there, In the star lit night, I need to tell you something, It's ok, I'm alright. I'm better than yesterday, And will be better tomorrow, And of course I'll always have some sorrow, And my strength I wished you had borrowed. Whispered sweet secrets, I'll always hold in my soul, Like you are happy now, You are finally whole. You're no longer out of control, Up and up away so high, And no longer down here below. Cuz' I know you're feeding, The itty bitty birds, And you don't need to say any words. It would be so absurd, To think you're lost and unheard. I bet you're playing football, With all the little tikes, Tossing bean bags, and riding bikes. Maybe horseshoes, Or maybe even cards, Remember you taught me chess? I gave up and said it was too hard. Yesterday I found a card, And it made me smile, And only after a little while, You asked “Why are you so tired?” I heard you say, You love me so, And I whispered back “I'll never let you go.” You inspire me to do better, To be seen and always heard, And to ignore all the terrible things, That are going on in the world. I was always there for you, As you were always for me, And I am a little grateful, You are now happy and so free.
