The Day I Died

You were there when I died, As I remembered seeing your face You looked at me, in such disbelief Uttering oh death, why such a waste. When you said goodbye, I was there Your eyes were full of tears How sad I felt, for you and not myself Wishing your sorrow would just disappear. I cried, but you never saw it The tears came down my cheeks How I wished that I, was at your side, As without you, I am so very weak. And I was there when you walked away Even though you knew that I was gone I then saw the sorrow, in your tomorrow Only if again we both were as one. I was there when you walked out the door I tried to comfort you, but you never heard me speak So sadly you walked away, till our judgment day And then once again, your soul I will seek. I wonder now what will become of you And also what will become of me Will you live in our past, pretending it still did last Or will you set my life and our memory free. Life and happiness it came so quickly But death it came in the wink of an eye You brought me joy, that's the end of my story And happy was I, you were there the day I died. Randy L. McClave
