If You Were Still Here

If you were still here, the world would be a better place.
But you died nearly two years ago and it's a disgrace.
If you were still here, I would still be blessed.
I lost the most important person in my life when you were laid to rest.
If you were still here, I would still have my best friend.
But my life was destroyed when your life came to an end.

[Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]
