Sentimental Journeys

Losing one after the other 

Losing a dear one or another, 

Losing the voices that once called my name, 

Losing the hearts that once held me close, 

One after the other they go.

One after the other they bid farewell. 

Death calls them to their home –

What would I do to hear their laughter 

What would I do to embrace them again

And yet I stand alone, helpless. 

I stand alone with no power to keep them 

With me for another day or two 

Just to cherish their existence for true. 

I’m looking to see a soul that can live on 

With me till my last breath 

Yet I find none that can hold my hand.
