The Sun Still Rises

.

Can we return to when you were well?

No...that is a wish long past.

But the sun still rises and it sets

and you are there between.

.

A moment ago you were tall and strong,

robust in granted health.

But the sun still rises and it sets

and you are there between.

.

I watch you change from as you were

to less than you would be.

But the sun still rises and it sets

and you are there between.

.

My hands are weak and futile

unable to hold back time.

But the sun still rises and it sets

and you are there between.

.

What lies ahead I dimly see.....

the pain, the loss, the tears.

But the sun still rises and it sets

and you are there between.

.

One day perhaps I'll be alone

and I'll weep for time slipped by.

But the sun will rise and it will set

and I'll long for you between.
