Her skin was as ebony and his like gold <br />My regret was neither of them lived to be old <br />And they as the sound of a temporary tune <br />Are gone, gone too soon <br />Like melting ice under the scorching sun <br />They left so suddenly with their works undone <br />Like flying bats under the silvery moon <br />Both were gone, gone too soon <br />The loved they shared I shall surely miss <br />I know we'll be together again in a life after this <br />Now I am left all alone writing this tearful tune <br />A tune for my friends who are gone, gone too soon <br />She loved to dance and he to sing <br />With these two talents much joy they did bring <br />As I end this poem under the light of the silvery moon <br />In memory of my friends who are gone, gone too soon<br /><br />OLAMILEKAN ADEWOYIN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gone-too-soon-2/
