Pass Away


No time to weep for an untimely rift,
Feelings numbed for a saddened heart,
My daily life catches me on too fast,
Those emotions drift apart;

A slight change in daily affairs,
Only you won’t be in that frame,
Never got to say how much I valued
You, until we meet again;

Though change must come and it will,
Time cannot freeze or turn about,
The frost will melt, the leaves will fall,
The burning candle shimmers out;

But under the shade of the tree that stood,
And around the candle flame,
The pleasure we had, the knowledge gained,
Can never be found again;

Alone we walk our chosen path,
And meet a few, who care,
I only wish wherever you go,
You find a good friend there;

Though feelings come and feelings go,
As do the people we meet,
A silent thanks to all those who
Molded my character beneath;

The sands of time will trickle down,
And the truth will finally come,
The sorrow felt will pass away,
Leaving us where we had begun;

The truth that someday we will leave,
And go to a different place,
I hope to touch a few lives here,
And travel with that solace.
