Requiem Poem by Dawn Ferrett

No more will I see your gentle face
Nor hear your voice, your laughter.
Gone is the solace of your embrace.
I am bereft hereafter.

You used to listen to my woes
And dry my bitter tears.
With kisses softer than a rose
You quelled my darkest fears.

What shall I do? Where can I go?
Without you, yes, I'll carry on,
But life will be unbearably slow.
My future, bleaker, now you're gone.

So, I will keep you in my heart,
Until we meet again, some day.
Meanwhile, though I am torn apart,
I won't let my soul decay.

The Gods above are cold as ice,
To take you on, yet leave me here,
But I'll recall your sound advice
As though you whisper in my ear.

Despite the pain, when times are tough
No clouds will e'er obscure
My memories of you. They'll be enough
To see me through! ...

...Love will endure!  

Rest In Peace
