In Remembrance
You died with such contentment on your face
that it made me marvel at your cruelty.
It seemed that Death gave you a better deal
and you chose to forsake this world you knew.
Wherever you may be, my love, listen!
It is never easy to just forget.
You gave me love I never knew before.
The years may pass, but thoughts of you remain
in the deepest recesses of my heart.
Each night when I am all alone, I keep
wishing you were back in my life again.
Knowing that it is just wishful thinking.
Unless love and courage be on my side…
To grant me strength to leave this world behind.
