Lifted

We were just talking like a few days back

Of family gossips and future plans

The very thing I feared suddenly struck

A chilling voice told me you are gone.

Time stopped and my heart ached

We were supposed to meet the next night

I held my strength for family's sake

But I feel the pain like heaven's smite.

You left so quickly like a fleeing thief

You took with you my glee and my world

My heart is with you and had surely dipped

My smile faded and left me in a curl.

I pray you hear all the words I whisper

To the winds to carry them to heaven's door

Look down from above and see your litter

Watch us grow and help us soar.
