Gone Too Soon Poem by Allistar Banks

Gone Too Soon

Rating: 5.0


Gone Too Soon
I cried every night.
A million tears fell.
Still my heart wasn't right.

Gone Too Soon
I did what I could
To have faith to keep my days strong

Gone Too Soon
I gained maturity
I had to face grief and life
And life turned a chapter

Gone Too Soon
I just tried to breathe
Knowing you were in a better place
Would make me happy

Gone Too Soon
My world turned upside down
My family became different
My routine rearranged

Gone Too Soon
I had to learn to be content
To stand on my own two feet
To take charge of my state of mind
So that's where I am now

At this stage of my life
Still uncertain and alone
Still coping with strife

And oh how I wish that
Things were different
That I could change time
To a time in the past
Gone too soon

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I am a local children's author from South Carolina. I attended Lander University and graduated in Mass Communications. I have developed a passion for writing from the time I was a child in elementary school. Writing was my escape from the real world and I could write down my day, feelings, and stories about my family with pen and paper. I decided to pursue my dream of being an author after college.

I have a book called Nosey Nicole and the Red Airplane that will teach five and six year old's a lesson to ask for permission before borrowing from someone else. She will leaving you laughing and on your feet as the story takes you from her home into the air.

I am working on three books now which are called Lenny the Lizard and His Green Scarf, Time to Go to Sleep Bailey, and The Hot Air Balloon with Many Colors. These books will be out next spring. They will leave you smiling and full of curiosity.
