Everything's Going To Be Alright

You had to go and leave me Not because you wanted to I know it broke your heart I saw it in your smile I saw it in your eyes You hung on with superhuman strength You clawed your way through life You fought with all your heart I saw it in your smile I saw it in your eyes Your days were all but numbered You gave it all you had Your last words etched forever in my heart I saw it in your smile I saw it in your eyes I’m up with each day’s sunrise On through the night talk with my friend the moon About how you’re still right here in my heart I see it in your smile I see it in your eyes In the dark of night I still see your smile I still see your eyes So deep down I know Everything's going to be alright Read on air by invitation ~ April 22, 2021 'LATE NIGHT POETS' AP: 1st place 2021, Front Page Pick 2021 Submitted on April 25, 2021 for contest ALL YOURS (APR 26) sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 1ST

'with my friend the moon.' This tugs at my heart, Line. Glad you can talk with the white-hearted friend. All I can do is howl at it. ~ Howlin' Wolf ... Smiles, gw

The mood is somber and the night is darkly beautiful in this exquisite poem, Line. Such pleasure to read! Good luck in the contest.
