Sitting here remembering you
Your pretty long brown hair
Your captivating sunshine smile
That lit up lives everywhere
And attracted me to you
I’m remember all those years
We spent together in love
And how everyone loved you
Even my mother loved you
Pity it didn’t work out
Decades later I saw you died
In an online obituary
Saddened my heart you died young
I figured it was the smoking
Sometimes I wonder where you are
And how you are in the afterlife
If you can feel and read this poem
I’m so sorry you didn’t live a long life
You deserved the best in all ways
And should have had longer days
Filled with sun, fun and a truer love
Never thought you’d be gone before me
And consider this poem like a prayer
For you with the sincerest hope
You are living a higher better life
Than you ever could of here
Bob Boyd
