Dearest Gone

by Toni   Jan 27, 2008


Death my dear, your early here
Have you forgot the time?
Or lost, perhaps, along the way
The list of yours and mine?

And what mistake, was made to make
You stop outside my door?
Know you not that you can�?�¢??t take
Those meant to live much more?

Were you confused, my dear, bemused?
When they sent you to that place?
For I know you�?�¢??ve seen him,
And you recognized his face

You know that there was too much life
Too much spirit to defy
You had to stop and wonder why
Things had turned out this awry

And yet you carried on your way,
My dear, my love, you�?�¢??ve gone astray
You�?�¢??ve made an error, a mistake
And taken one who should have stayed
