1
You smiled and my world fell apart
You didn’t know the power you possessed
Whilst playing with your friends in the park
If you could but feel this beating aching heart
Perhaps you too would realise the radiance you possess.
2
I watched you sleeping, so peaceful!
Old age denies me that now!
You where somewhere at play no doubt, or on some adventure in Neverland flying higher than the clouds
Fighting Pirates whilst I stood here watching denied and was envious!
3
You where young yet with a wise old head upon your shoulders, and a mind sharper than any well
Honed knife cutting deep into my soul!
Your eyes with the wisdom of ages and a purer tender love that I selfishly mocked and was eternally sorry for!
4
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!
5
We are all but mortal and life can be cruel,
But take comfort in this and know that God gifted us an Angel winged with a love most high, rare and true
And in a Hundred thousand years there would be no one as pure as you!
