Ending

I woke up this morning
As I forgot to take
That damn alarm off
Lying wide awake
The birds are chirping
It's only 5am

There is no more ...
How a person's life
Can change in a second

I miss those smiles
And wonder if
I may be in touch
One day to hear you
Say I need a cuppa
Before I take this day on

There is no more ...
How a person's life
Can change in a minute

It's not a loss
Of day to day duties
But the saying goodbye
That's the hardest
I didn't want for this
Ending should have been on my terms

From the heart
Char
