A Poem For You

 

Never imagined life without you

Never thought we would part

Never thought life will be so incomplete

Never dreamed that time will be cut so short.


Missing simple conversations, short meaningful talks

Who would have thought that in a short a time,

you would make such a profound impact

In a life you've so unknowingly touched


Life is so short as you fondly told

Make it meaningful, fruitful

And follow your lead  

But unsure of which steps to take

Not aware of the next move to make


It's not easy without you guiding the path

It's not as simple as I thought it will be

It's not as easy had you been here


But life moves forward

Even as your memory fades, 

hard as I try to grasp at it, so it won’t dim

Guide from where you are, Direct as you see fit

All I hope now,

is to continue and move forward

hoping to make you proud

hoping to accomplish all goals as was tasked.


Blowing in the wind, a simple whisper

to not forget me over yonder

as I continue to remember

here where I stand,

the you that will always be

a friend so dear to my heart
