-I Never

He died at thirty six
Suddenly he was gone
He needed to stay here
But his heart was not strong

I never saw his blue, blue eyes
I never heard his voice
I never got to love him
I never had a choice

I never got to touch him
I never felt his embrace
I never knew his love
His kindness and his grace

Let me be the first to bravely comment on this enigmatic poem. It’s so thoughtfully and deliberately worded, clearly full of deep meaning. I’ve re-read it a few times and can only hope that you now know fully His love, kindness and grace.
