Cecilia Macfarlane Poet Rhyme

Life Is Fleeting

Mournful cries still linger in the air
Cruelties of life are so unfair
Paramedics were unable to revive 
Gone before help could arrive

Here one moment and gone the next
Why did this happen feeling perplexed 
Sitting in shock while others try to console
Heart is frozen with a tremendous hole

Whole world crashing out of control 
Unbelievable pain searing my soul
Reaching for you in a final embrace
Feel my love as I caress your face

A heart attack claimed you without warning 
Should be celebrating Xmas, not mourning 
More then a brother, also my best friend 
Please watch over me until we meet again


*Written for my neighbor who loss her brother.
