Sunrise:

September 27, 1971

Sunset:

April 16, 2020

No more breaths, nor kisses nor

hugs only tears for all that we're

missing forced to say goodbye

left feeling cold and empty

inside longing for the tomorrow

that never came praying that

God will take away the

unbearable pain left longing for

the rain hoping once it cleanse

the Earth this pain in my chest

won't run so deep and my heart

will once again began to beat

because right now I'm just going

through the days, trapped in a

daze praying for better days

Tear ducts swollen from the

continuous cry trying not ask

God why it seems we're all born

to die Asking you to hear my

soul cry as I say my last

Goodbye! I love you forever

-Retta
