When They'Re Gone Poem by Audrey Heller

Many times, I'd reminisce, the way life
was, when you were here. Everything,
had so much meaning, but it didn't take
long, before it would all, disappear! How
I long for those days, but sadly, they're
gone forever! I can never have them back,
much to my endeavor. For now, I only have
memories, but they get me through.
Memories, are wonderful to have, for they
are, the very best, of you! No one, can
understand what it's like, until, they've lost
a loved one, no matter whom it might be.
They're always in your heart and it's so
hard, to set them free! We think of them
and perhaps, talk to them, for it makes
it easier to cope and go on. But in our
hearts, we know, life will never be the
same, for when they're gone, they're
gone!
