Going Poem by Kevin East

Roads and life are stealing you away
Reasons fade for you to stay
But apple blossom memory
Of summers that were meant to be
Still sweet and your eyes still kind
Your laughter skips across my mind.

Reaching for your helping hand
Embracing thoughts is clutching sand
I would abandon faceless dignity
To have your smile reflect to me.
The sun slept, then rain swept
And you are going.

Change wields the knife that cuts our life
But i will cut you flowers
Though they will die the loving sigh
Will always still be ours.
And the tears we cry now
Will dry in the sun
When we remember how we began.
