Look up, the sun shines.
Tears blur in my eyes.
Look down, the ground quakes.
Waiting patiently, my heart breaks.
Look behind, don't move to fast.
Pain is coming, will it last?
Look ahead, your future waits.
Don't wait for me, I'll make you late.

MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

the last line struck a chord
"Don't wait for me,I'll make you late"

Beautiful piece of poetry Nicole
Very sad though, living a day at a time and seeing the sunshine , a better plan than dwelling on the future I believe.
