I’ve just returned
Fresh from a fight
To save lives
Boots on the ground
Hat surrounding my brain
Blue as the summer sky
Today I feel like
Doing something crazy
Extraordinary
No longer did I want
My life to be
Extra ordinary
I came back into your sight
Seemed like you came around
Blessing thrown from
This side of heaven
I held the hand of my future
Everyday till
The world said no
Not for a problem
Cause they never stop
Until they are all affected
One day we sat down
Tears flowed
Hugs continued like normal
I wish your fate
Wasn’t extra ordinary…
Disease took you away
But I blame no one
Natural cycle
It’s not the destiny you wanted
But it’s one you accepted
So I kneel here
Everyday
Like my morning run
Keeps me awake
Keeps me alive
I miss you my dearest
Remember the words I spoke to you
“Take this heart to the grave.”
Good thing
You gave it back
With the gift of new life
Brown eyes
Tan skin tone
You’d love him
Like I still love you.
