Just Away
BY CAROLE NICHOLS
The sky is clear and bright today;
Soon the birds will fill the air,
Bringing a sweet springtime song,
But when I look, you won't be there.
It's hard to believe it's been a year,
Since your voice quietly spoke,
And you led me step by step
To the place where I awoke.
It's a place my mind goes often,
To relive that time of learning;
So real and sharp, it's hard to see
That there'll be no returning.
I see the water, cold and still,
I see the flowering countryside;
Clear and bright, just like today,
I'll thank you always for that ride.
You were someone who took the time,
And became a special friend;
You were my breath of springtime,
But we always knew one day it'd end.
Yet, I know that you and I can see,
The same sun and sky each day;
So I'll think that you aren't gone,
You are merely, just away.
