It first it starts as a murmur
It can’t possibly be true
For no God would have taken
One as young as you
I cling to the belief
That it isn’t a fact
Until I see your obituary
Your face in a picture
In front of me
No doubt, no protestations
For it is obviously true.
Like a thief in the night
Something crept in
To whisk you away
My birthday was last week,
And you gave me wishes,
I’ll treasure every day,
For now you’ve gone away,
Dear friend I’ll always remember you
Your warm heart and your winning smile
Will dwell forever in my memories
And in my heart, empty space
Without you in my life.
