In Aussie-land dwell the marsupials
By night they paint the town connubial
They make them a joey
Named Zoey or Chloe
Neighbors jump for joy indubitable
You are wonderful thing,
An important person
A best friend, A cherished daughter
You have an adventurous life
Full of twists and turns
You have some amazing friends
Who are waiting for you
To come back, To return to us
I'm writing as one of those friends
Where we wait for you
You are a beautiful human
That didn't have enough time
To live life to the fullest
If only we all knew
What was going to happen
But of course we didn't
For death is unexpected
Zoey, you shall be remembered
By all the people who stand
Who are close to you, and maybe even far
Because we all love you,
And even though your in another world now
Our feelings haven't changed
You will not be forgotten
For you are cherished
And all those precious moments
Of your beautiful, but short life
Will be in our minds, every day
Because you’re special, to all of us
The name Zoey P.
Will be known
By million of souls
Because you did not get your chance
At a full adventurous life
When we all think of you,
Love will come
Zoey, My final words to you,
Is not to be lonely,
Because we will see you in the future
In another life
Goodbye Zoey, For now.
My fortress, my place of hiding,
Towards safety, you're always guiding.
Though I'm clumsy and often fall,
You're there to catch me for them all.
My strong castle, my knight in shining armor,
When I'm cold and alone, you make me warmer.
You are my hiding place, you always fill my heart,
I love you, from you, I never want to be apart.
- For Dakota and Zoey
A guardian angel, a best friend,
A lover, to my every need you tend.
From a dark, dangerous world, you saved me,
I was blind, now I see.
I can never deserve you, but I need your love,
Without you, long ago, I'd have ascended above.
We don't need to speak, I hear you heart,
A silent love affair, I never want to be apart.
When you're away, the pain goes down to the bone,
My guardian angel, I'm never alone.
- For Dakota and Zoey
A girl named Zoey
In a love story
Love’s all she can
Throughout the land
Her heart went out
To this lonely lout
This girl so sweet
You’d like to meet
A story so grand
She’s give her hand
To marriage
For love’s carriage
Forever she’s true
Love give’s its due
Being as friends
May their story end
Russell Sivey
The gloomy miserable day
the atmosphere dark and gray,
The clouds looming overhead
looking at your lonely deathbed,
Hoping to see your chest fall and rise
or to see you sit up and say it's all lies,
Praying to see your eyes open once more
but when they didn't my heart tore,
Not wanting to take my eyes off you
just in case my hopes came true,
my legs started to feel weak
as I kissed you on your cold cheek,
Feeling the raindrops slide down my face
seeing them splash on your smooth case,
As you were lowered into the unforgiving ground
all the memories around
took me to the ground
