Too Soon

Yesterday I cried

Today I am somber

Tomorrow I may smile

Who really knows

Surely not me

I just cry

Questions aren’t answered

Not the way I want

Makes me sad

So I cry

Life is gone

Memories are real

Dreams allow us to see

Only for a moment

A friend we lost

Too soon

Your home within the ground

Where we shall mourn

Saying goodbye

To a friend

The rain fell

As we stood to grieve

Holding onto our memories

Not walking away

Just standing

To cry

We all took a single red rose

In honor of your life

We love you

Our friend

In memory of

Mark "Stumpy" Swearingen
