Just five more minutes


I wonder about the turn of the world
As time passes and thoughts are held
A litany of lost ones linger
Of conversations requiring sympathy quite ginger

But the thought still remains
And the years do not bring change
The ache in my heart does not end
Just five more minutes with them.
