Left Too Soon (Poem on a loved one dying)

A gaze beyond the sunrise

Too see if you are there

To look beyond the rainclouds

For your loving stare

Too many questions left unanswered

Of why you left so soon

You’re the warmth of the sun

The light of the moon

All the things I never told you

Yet I feel every day

How wish I could whisper

Since you went away

Another year I grow older

The past begins to fade

Just a gentle reminder

I can no longer hide

Generations leave us

Become a whisper in time

Yet whilst I am breathing

Your name it will chime

Regrets there are too many

Yet they can’t change anything

So here is to living

And what the future will bring
