Some thoughts on loss/grief from the POV of the person who died

Your hand in mine

church bells ring

in the blue sky birds sing

It’s just a matter of time

til we start a life together

just you and me forever.

That’s how it goes when the right people meet

soon to be followed by the sound of little feet.

I want to let you know, I remember it all

and since I answered the call

I ask you to stand tall.

Just a little thing I learned:

the fairest thing about life is that

it’s unfair for everyone.

It’s hard to believe that I am gone.

Today is my day

it’s my turn to go

the reason for this I don’t know

gone are the days for us to run and play.

Gone are the days for walks on the beach

now those days are out of reach

there was so much more for me to teach.

Gone are the days to just sit and be

gone, gone, gone- just like me.

Just a little thing I learned:

The fairest thing about life is that

it’s unfair for everyone.

It’s starting to feel like I should be gone.

If you ever miss me, know you don’t need

to look far

You need not worry or be at war.

Look closely and you will surly see

I am in you and you are in me.

I’ll always be your light

in the deep, dark night

you truth in a sea of lies

the shoulder on which you can always cry.

You can try with all your might

to cover every trace

just know that I am in a better place.

Just a little thing I learned:

the fairest thing about life is that

it’s unfair for everyone.

It’s time for goodbye, since I am gone, gone , gone.
