Gone Too Soon

You're gone too soon, to a better place. Watch the faces now, looking down at you as you're laid to rest, all teary eyed and heart broken, because of you, all for you. Sweetheart, you could have seen many more sunrises. You could have lived long and loved well. You could have seen how the world turns old and grey. You could have. But God, he loves you more.




Like a comet blazing across the evening sky, gone too soon
Like a rainbow fading in the twinkling of an eye, gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly and splendidly bright, here one day, gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight on a cloudy afternoon, gone too soon
Like a castle built upon a sandy beach, gone too soon
Like a perfect flower that is just beyond your reach, gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight, here one day, gone one night
Like a sunset dying with the rising of the moon, gone too soon

Love and prayer to your soul, Clive James. Rest well.
