Someone Said Your Name Today

For Sarah

I have so many questions
As to why you've gone away
Maybe I'm not meant to know
Perhaps you couldn't say

I'll never see your smile again
Or see your eyes of brown
Someone said your name today
And the tears came pouring down

I won't pretend to know the pain
You must have felt inside
I only wish I'd been there
To hold you while you cried

I'll miss your jokes; your pranks
How your laughter sounds
Someone said your name today
And the tears came pouring down

My heart will always wonder
Why you didn't say good-bye
I wasn't ready to let you go
To spread your wings and fly

Although I'll see you in Heaven
My sorrow still abounds
Someone said your name today
And the tears came pouring down

If only I had one more day
To spend with you my friend
I'd share how much you mean to me
A blessing you have been

I know you're safe with Him now
The Keeper of the Crown
But someone said your name today
And the tears came pouring down

I had accidentally put the wrong title on this poem. So, I had to go back and correct some mistakes.
