He lies there not breathing

On the hospital bed

Only a fortnight ago

Did we both wed

His face like an angel

No pain anymore

He's gone somewhere better

Than he was before

A nineteen year old boy

Never thinking of death

His heart full of spirit

Till his last dying breath

He won't yell in pain

He won't cry anymore

His train left for Paradise

At sixteen past four

I was done grieving

A long time ago

The leaves left the branches,

The rain turned to snow

I don't visit his grave

I know there's no one there

He's in the winter wind and the warm summer air

He wouldn't want me to wallow, to pity and cry

He'd want me to go on

And live till I die
