Taken too soon

January 30, 2018

Dear Derek,

The day you left was the day I learned that life isn’t fair

God lifted you above and took you right from my hands

up into his heavenly air

I wondered why he took you so soon

But I couldn’t complain I was only two

I had no idea of what I lost until I was listening to the stories with a broken heart

I sat on his bed in his vacant room

I lost my best friend and our potential tore me apart

I saw his car go vroom vroom and the next day

You’d never again see the flowers bloom

everyday I wonder what could’ve been but I know you are up there happy again.
