THE LAST DAWN
By writerpoet
16 June 2006
I WROTE THIS FOR A FRIEND WHO WAS DYING,SHE WANTED TO GIVE IT HER PARTNER,THE LAST TIME SHE SAW HER.

THE

SUN SHINES BRIGHTLY

AND BLUE IS THE SKY

THIS WONDERFULL LIFE

IS NO TIME TO DIE

 

MY TIME IS SHORT

BUT IM NOT MAD

IV BEEN SO HAPPY IV NEVER BEEN SAD

 

 

PROMISE ME MY GENTLE LOVE

YOU WON’T CRY

JUST SING WITH THE DOVE

 

OUR YEARS TOGETHER

WAS LIKE A TREE

SPANNING THE UNIVERSE

ITS BRANCHES TO SEE

 

MY LOVE WAS STRONG

AND WONDERFULL AND KIND

DON’T MISS ME DARLING

YOUR HEART I WILL FIND

 

THE LAKE WE KISSED AT

THE FLOWERS WE PICKED

THE CHAMPAGNE LUNCHES

ALL THIS WAS BLISS

 

SO BYE MY LOVE

AND NEVER FORGET

YOUR HEART IS MINE

GOOD NIGHT GOD BLESS

This is a beautiful poem of simple but very deep imagery.  
 
I really liked the verse: 
 
OUR YEARS TOGETHER 
 
WAS LIKE A TREE  
 
SPANNING THE UNIVERSE 
 
ITS BRANCHES TO SEE 
 
It implies a love without end, unto eternity... 
 
Very moving...I'm sure your friend must have been grateful for such powerful words. 
 
With best wishes
