Listen to poem:

People Gone

People Gone
by Bob Moore

Back in the days of yesteryear
the thoughts of it still brings a tear
family and friends who I held dear
and how I wish they were standing here

Then I could tell them every one
how sad it is now they have gone
wish I could have told them then
just how much, I loved them

When they’ve gone, it’s too late to say
“it’s good to see you" every day
“your face, your smile, your voice so sweet
my spirit lifts each time we meet”

But now you’ve gone, what can I do
to live my life, without you
will be so hard for me to bear
when I still see you standing there

It is a sad poem which is why I chose it and here is the reason why. I LOST MY Husband in March I am missing him.He is in my thoughts every day.My life feels empty without him even with people around me.So I feel the sadness in your poetry. I enjoyed your poetry.
