Gone

By Kenneth R. Jenkins In memory of Martha K. Newton and Amanda P. Newton and then I looked around..... I stepped back and breath Taking each breath like there's no more. The rush of memories flood my mind The tears started to flow And my heart heavy with grief. I wanted to ask "why Lord why" But it only comes back in whispers Like a raindrop following from the sky falling. There's a time to morn Remembering the times of our lives. God knew what was best In times like these---- Like times like these we need a Savior. Remembering you--- I took a breath And you've gone away Sailed away to the sea so distant. Remembering you--- I took a breath And now you're gone.... 22 Aug. 2013
