Gone Too Soon
by David G. Bancroft | Emotions so deeply felt
for all those tragically dealt
with the mournful loss of a loved one
whose life was far from done
and tearfully... none more so
than those we know
who just begun
to experience the innocent fun
of being a child playing in the sun,
a toddler attempting to talk,
or a baby learning to walk.
Heartfelt prayers go out
for the children who are without
the nurturing love
of a parent taken above
with the hope of
them finding comfort
from caring family support,
and that the terrible hurt fades away
into a sad memory one day,
where they
can just be happy in play. | David G. Bancroft

| | It is hoped that this poem represents in someway how all deeply feel, who have experienced the loss of a loved one well before a normal life span. So, many young ones lost due to wars, natural disasters like the late-December 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean, unthinkable genocide, murder, hunger, disease, accidents, and other terrible events . . . And the sadness felt for the littlest ones left without one or both parents. |
