One of life’s mysteries came to me through the shadows of your being. 
I knew you once before, in a time and in a world where there was no hurt or harm. 
One day the sun set on your heart beckoning you to leave this place of affliction and distrust. 
Your presence was of the essence every one that came into contact with you 
was blessed to be intrigued by one of God’s finest. 
Yet, retirement settled upon you at an early age leading you to an eternity
that would change everyone that loved you lives 
but in return you received a refreshing and eternal spring. 
My beloved you are the silhouette of my sadness and the light of my angst. 
You are the joy to my sorrow and the smile to my agony. 
As you watch over me protect me from the envy, and strife of this world. 
As I close my eyes to see your face and hear your voice once more 
I will shield and cherish the memories and thoughts of knowing 
that one day we will walk together again.
