Gone Too Soon I reflect upon those past days When you were but a child How your love was innocent Your heart so meek and mild God had placed you in my path And he knew what was in store I helped to mold your innocence Which made me love you more I would never have imagined That on some fateful afternoon God would call upon your name And you’d be gone too soon God had foreseen all the reasons Of why our paths would cross Perhaps he saw that my heart Would surely feel this loss I reflect upon those days gone by And I question why I lost touch Of course those answers do not come But my heart will miss you much Gone to soon from this earth Now I wish we weren’t apart But I will always remember you As the sweet child of my heart © 2006 Janie Johnson Wrote for and dedicated to Melissa Marie (Turco) Weatherly June 28, 1976-May 11, 2002 This poem may not be used unless consent has been given.
