1 <br />You smiled and my world fell apart <br />You didn’t know the power you possessed <br />Whilst playing with your friends in the park <br />If you could but feel this beating aching heart <br />Perhaps you too would realise the radiance you possess. <br />2 <br />I watched you sleeping, so peaceful! <br />Old age denies me that now! <br />You where somewhere at play no doubt, or on some adventure in Neverland flying higher than the clouds <br /> Fighting Pirates whilst I stood here watching denied and was envious! <br />3 <br />You where young yet with a wise old head upon your shoulders, and a mind sharper than any well <br />Honed knife cutting deep into my soul! <br />Your eyes with the wisdom of ages and a purer tender love that I selfishly mocked and was eternally sorry for! <br />4 <br />If I was given just one more chance I’d take you to the moon and gift you with a thousand stars and a thousand stars more wrapped for all eternity in love. And should you grow lonely when I’m gone you’d have but to glance into the night sky and I would give you consolation! <br />5 <br />We are all but mortal and life can be cruel, <br />But take comfort in this and know that God gifted us an Angel winged with a love most high, rare and true <br />And in a Hundred thousand years there would be no one as pure as you!<br /><br />kipper Stagg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shea/
