Why Did You Have To Go? Poem by Jayne Louise Davies

New day has dawned,
But you're not here,
The birds still sing,
The sky so clear,
Life goes on,
And so it will,
Without you now,
My life is filled,
With love and many memories,
Of when we walked through summer breeze,
And all those days,
Now rolled into one,
Memories fine,
In summer sun,
Of days when I,
Could happily run,
Into your loving arms.
And as I look towards the trees,
I think back to those memories,
The leaves they sway,
To and fro,
Why did you have to go?
