Missing You (Tribute)

Tonight we all trembled at the thought of you gone You did not get to see today's sunrise at dawn Or smell the mornings dew on the fresh grass the finger prints that are still left on your glass the scent of it all what seemed so fair has lost all of its beauty for you are not there let the roses wither and winter kill off the season as death feels nothing and took you for no reason The love you shared remains with us all and it reminds the weak to always stand tall those merciful stars above have your smile though we may all not see you for a while in our memories nothing is stronger than this hearing your comforting voice is what we miss the soothing tone of your laugh echoed so sweet our days and our nights are now incomplete on this day onwards our tears are ever persistent for we have lost perfection all in an instant sleep soundly little angel for you did not die you live on in our memories and all our goodbyes In memory of Anastasia De Sousa, 1988-2006 I did not know you Anastasia but through my poetry I will remember you always.
