91 not 19

They say she’s in a better place,

The angels see her smiling face,

But why can’t I?

They say that God tests the strong,

But in my heart this feels so wrong,

An endless sigh.

I can handle many things,

Like losing diamonds in my ring,

And facing those who turn away,

And chasing hours in my day.

But I can’t handle losing her,

Taken too soon from this world,

I miss her smile, her laugh, her hair,

I reach for her and she’s not there.

They say one day we all must leave,

Our spirits soar, I do believe,

But it would make more sense to me,

If she had left at 91—not 19.

That’s the way it’s supposed to be,

To leave the world at 91—not 19.

Yes, I have a very special dream,

That she had left at 91— not 19.
