Too Soon

You entered this world right on time, Just what we needed and we did not know it. You were feisty, and wonderful, and funny. Many days you tested me, You challenged my resolve, You lit up more rooms than you darkened, The only rooms you darkened where the ones where you hit the switch, I expected to see your smile until my vision faded, I anticipated the day when your wisdom would exceed my own, I never expected the sorrow of missing you would ever…. Strike the past few words I’ve spoken. I will speak you back into this room and hopefully mend the fractures of my broken heart, You entered this world right on time, You left this world far too soon.
