Where Did You Go
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Yesterday you were here,
But now you lie still
Your eyes closed,
Gentle face,
Facing up towards the sky,
Up towards the stars,
I know this is the way of things,
That we must all one day let go!
But still, we cry out,
Where did you go?
Your laugh, your knowing eyes,
Waiting for us,
Welcoming us with a smile,
It seems so clear,
standing here,
so quiet,
No more machines
clicking,
Everything surrendered,
We never knew how much time
was left?
But now we know,
It’s passed,
And as we push back your hair,
We see,
It’s time to
let you
go.
