Not for all eternity
Will sadness streak my cheek
Or curve me with a sightless weight
That bows my kneecaps weak.
Nor evermore shall I mourn
A departure so abrupt,
A constant fixture in my world
From it, so sudden plucked.
Even all time, so short and long
I dare not wish nor pine
Each blessed day that passes by
Each night would ease my mind.
But for a lasting moment
Each smile, each laugh, each breath
The memories shall hold me now
No longer left bereft.
