So Little Time

If I had known how much I would Have missed her when she left, I would have thought of deaths embrace As robbery or theft. If I had known how much I would Have missed her when she died, I would have prayed dear Jesus please Take me, but I just cried. WHY DID SHE HAVE TO LEAVE ME! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO GO! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO DIE MY LORD! WHY I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW! She died so very suddenly We did not have much time, Though from the very day we met I knew she would be mine. I loved her yes with all my heart I prayed for her in life, I prayed each day she would be blessed I prayed she'd be my wife. So lovely,tender,pure and free I treasured all her love She stored up for only me This lady, was my dove. Now I am left to wonder God. Now I am left to pine. Why did she die first Lord Now when will come my time. For fifty years in marriage Our hearts did intertwine. She now has left to meet you God. So very little time.

This as I gather is fictional using sense memory. Drawing from real experiences. Excellent, write. Congratulations on your win.

I have never been married and I'm still not 50. This was total fiction but I have lost family members so I drew on that to write this poem.
