Untitled
There are those whom
Humans chose
As not to have
An expiration date
in their infinitesimal passport
Here on earth
So when
One of those
Instantly do die
We humans are surprised
Filled immediately
With sincere grief
And wonder why
Could sudden death
Or any form of death
Stop the life
Of those we've chose
To forever live
And we love
Gone,
But never to be
Forgotten
No bye bye
5 August 1999
