World full of turmoil <br />Everything is changing <br />lives lost too early <br />Dreams neverfullfilled <br /> <br />Comet over head <br />Is it pulling us akilter <br />Whats making everything <br />Fall on its side <br /> <br />Do you feel the uncertainty <br />The tears welling up <br />Want to just miss today <br />Hope tomorrow brings a change <br /> <br />Faced death today <br />Held a friend while he grieved <br />Felt the pain from a young life gone <br />Before he could become a man <br /> <br />Two lives gone so close together <br />How my heart pains <br />Will there be a third <br />Before the sunrise. <br /> <br />written January 2007<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-the-sunrise/
