My Beloved Parents
They are gone!
They are here no more!
The tears and grief
The hopeless heartache
The longing for their return
walk side by side
with the hours of the day
The shining light
they left behind
can never never fade
Happiness melts into yesterday
Grief will not wait until tomorrow
Contentment is but fleeting
O time, turn back the minutes
Turn back the hour
Turn back the day
