An Untimely Passing

They say only the good die young…and some days I think that’s true.

Like the day that you were taken…an injustice through and through.

You gave your whole life to others…taking so little for yourself.

You gave even when you were hurting…and it took its toll on your health

You deserved a happy retirement… surrounded by those you love

Instead, you will have to watch over them… from somewhere up above

I wish your spirit peace now…a long rest that’s way overdue.

I hope you know how much…so many loved and cared about you.

Satyr’s Sacrifice

Today I saw you…

Really saw you…

At your best…in all your glory.

I imagine…the way he sees you…

Olive skin radiant, long curled mocha tresses bouncing and blowing perfectly in the wind.

Round jubilant espresso orbs filled with love to the point of overflowing…

My heart aches for you a little…because I know…

And I wonder if you know…or when you might…

That it will never be enough.
