You
He left us BOOM
One minute there, the next
Gone. The Earth
opened up,
A hole
the size
of you
Reached
out
its’ arms
Pulled you to the dirt.
The darkness took your
light away We screamed
“Please don’t go”
We knew you had to
Time wasn’t on our side
Your light was burning
Out He loved
Everyone,
His sarcasm lit up the room
We all know he is still here;
Know he hears every
sarcastic comment we
make; He left his light
inside of us.
