Colourblind

The people we love bring joy and colour into our lives. When they're gone, it can be difficult to let go and move on. Let's always hold the memories of our loved ones in our hearts. Let that give us small comfort in a world that may seem colourless now. 

Colourblind

With you in my life
There was colour always;
The fun we had
No matter the days.

We ran in the sun,
Played in the surf;
Laughed and
Enjoyed
Life's blessed worth.

Then you were
Taken away - 
A dark day indeed;
The sunshine and
Rainbows
Completely ceased.

Only shades of grey
Remain around here;
I'm colourblind now - 
Don't shed a tear.
