poems
I saw you just two days before,
We talked a few minutes now I wish it was more,
And when we said good bye,
I never knew it would be the last time,
You left this world way to soon,
I found out the next day around noon,
That at four AM you had passed,
I would have tried to help if you would have just asked,
But instead you left this world all alone,
You never even called my phone,
Every day I think maybe it is a dream,
But it is not and everthing is as it seems,
It has been more days than I care to know,
I was not prepared to just let you go,
My world will never be the same,
Every day I want to call out your name,
Somehow I must say goodbye,
Till we meet again in the place above the sky.

That is both sad and beautiful all in the same breathe, with pristine expression and articulation. Plus, I lost my father to multiple strokes early this year, so it resonates quite clearly with me in the reading. Thanks for sharing.
