Notes About The Poem

a heartbeat away

all good things must come to an end
but we'll always have our memories
on those rainy autumn afternoons
by the fireplace on Christmas eves
walking along streets lined with lilac trees
by the lakeshore watching sunrises
you'll be there a heartbeat away by my side
~ no, death surely is not the end
