Sonnentag Poem by Patti Masterman

My heart is heavy because
Someday you'll go away
Who will listen to my dreams then
Who will care, whatever I say?

I always knew death exists
But I didn't know it'd come so near
I know our life has to end
But just keep me from the fear

Promise me you'll stay so near
And never let your shadow stray
Promise we'll always be together
And don't let the distance betray

We still have time, we'll find the way
There's got to be a secret nobody's tried
We still have time, don't give up now
While time's with us, we'll conquer death somehow.

I always knew death exists
But I didn't know it'd come so near
I know our life has to end
But just keep me from the fear

Promise me you'll stay so near
And never let your shadow stray
Promise we'll always be together
And don't let the distance betray

Look up, the sun's still right there-
It can't go down, not while we breathe,
See, it was all just a bad dream then;
Cause you and I will never leave.
