PAIN AND MEMORIES

PAIN AND MEMORIES


I have much pain and memories
Along with happiness
About the time I spent with you,
Though now all is darkness.

We met, we loved, we married and
We had two sweet children.
But then there came that violent
Spark from the hell’s cauldron.

You were gone rather too early,
Saying goodbye to all.
Your time on this earth had ended.
You heeded heaven’s call.

Now as I look at the dim stars
That blink at me all night,
I know that you are the one with
The most colourful light.
