Gone too soon

by Sarah Day   Jul 25, 2015


Gone too soon, you'll be laid to rest
arms gently placed across your chest.
Silent tears and mournful breathes
no words could possibly express
the ache the void the emptiness.
Why did you choose this way to leave ?
A man with so much to achieve.
Peace you have found I have to believe .
But knowing this I still will grieve.
I pray our Lord be full of grace
and take you to a better place .
Never will you be forgot,
in my heart there will always be my precious jakey spot.

    Hi,

    this is a heartfelt write. After commenting on your previous 'drug' poem, this feels like the next inevitable and sad stage.

    I am sorry.

    Take care.

      Actually, this one was for my 22yr old nephew who committed suicide upon returning from Iraq. It was devastating to our entire family :(
