Night Comes Too Soon

How can this be twilight?

You who brought sunshine to my days,

What do I do when the night comes?

 

Our friendship is based on experiences,

We shared so many during our years together.

Will memories be all that I have left?

 

I’m not ready for you to go yet.

I want, I need, to bottle your sunshine.

How will I stay warm when the night approaches?

 

You are the answer to all my prayers;

The reason to awaken each morning and smile.

Your light is the essence of my life.

 

They tell me that your sunset is near.

Like a thief, I will steal away all of our moments together,

I will hold you in my arms until the light come’s for you.

 

Wait for me in the light,

I will look for you when my day is done.

We will walk again in sunshine, one day.

The honest way you wrote this and the tenderness you enveloped in your questioning shows such beauty. This is hopeful when it seems like there is no hope. The plans you have to be together in the future are so worthy of making. I can tell how much you care.

Oh, this was sad, yet so beautiful of an ending. You penned this superbly. I love the last stanza as it is a wonderful thought and it reminds me of what my grandfather use to say about my grandmother...wait for me...this brings tears to my eyes. Lovely writing...

Oh my Lena.....is your love near his end in life? You write with such devotion and love as you speak of one who approaches the end of living.
Yes, we do ask for them to wait for us in the light...how lovely a thought to walk in sunshine again at that moment of joining together again!!
