The pain I feel inside sinks down on the bone. <br /> When I read the short quote written on your head stone. <br /> Your last breath of life has prematurely been sown, <br /> When you passed from this life to the next zone. <br /> <br /> Tenderly, I lay fresh cut flowers on your grave. <br /> All through my body a chill runs down in a wave. <br /> Softly praying to God, Please help me be brave. <br /> To be with you once more is all that I crave. <br /> <br /> You have peacefully been laid down to your final rest. <br /> From a fantastic life that must have been blessed. <br /> Somehow our great plans had become a bit messed. <br /> When your life quickly ended at the height of its crest. <br /> <br /> Though I now say good-bye to my very close friend. <br /> Happy memories with you will never cease to end. <br /> True feelings of loss, I never pretend. <br /> So up with the angles these sad feeling I send. <br /> <br /> As people of faith we believed God is real. <br /> And since you've been gone, it's still what I feel. <br /> All though it appears we'd gotten a bad deal, <br /> I still feel you close, here now, as I kneel.<br /><br />Gary D.
