Sunshine Upon a Dark Day

Sunshine Upon A Dark Day Great lamentations sadden this dark room And cries held back cut the silent tears Such young death displays a tragic doom As survivors fight back their deep fears! Yet outside, new sun shines truly bright Day holds promises for those still living More heartache will rip out this night She is now gone, gone is her sweet giving! Listen, angels sing this great loss now As light filters into this lonely place She lays there with no sweat on her brow with sweetest smile on her beautiful face! Night has fallen, we now feel very alone She- the light on our souls, is now gone! Robert J. Lindley, 07-18-2015

its i think a comfort to know she has a sweet smile on her face makes you know she must have seen an angel in that last moment...though a sad one its a great poem.

This is a very sad poem Robert, it makes me sadder to feel this is something you experienced recently. I hope not. Always a friend. SKAT

Oh....this is so sad. Life is so complicated...and separation is so difficult. You have written of the loss so well, my dear. I've been away for a bit....feeling down. I'm back now. Thanks for the visit to my work.
