The World Moves On
For a friend's partner who lost a family member. May he rest in peace. Even if you feel alone and the World moves on, there are people who keep you in their thoughts and prayers.
The World moves on
By Michelle Morris
31/03/2023
We held your funeral
Your death was in my face
No longer can I deny
That you're out of place
No longer with us
Into the realms of mystery
Where heavenly creatures
Hold you for eternity
The World moves on
The Universe keeps expanding
But here I stand
Forlorn and filled with sadness
Everyone else has a life
People who need them close
No more time for my misery
No more time to cope
No more time for feeling
Everything that I do
People survive and choose life
By mourning and pulling through
It's the way of humanhood
How our species survives
We have to have hope
In order to thrive
But there are people
Who'll be there in the shadows
Who'll keep you in their thoughts and prayers
And bless your soul with tomorrow
Even though the World moves on
And the Universe keeps expanding
You'll be able to cope one day
With love, compassion and understanding
