    Default Time of Life

    Now we say our last goodbye
    And stare into the eyes
    Of what was such a life

    As she slips away in time
    We remember her days
    In our lives

    She helped to shape
    Who we are
    Through ways no one can describe

    She gave us strength when we were down
    And helped us pick our selves up off the ground
    She helped to define who we were inside

    Forever will she live
    In our hearts
    And our minds
    There is not enough space or time to truly let the song unwind

    Hi Johnb31, every poem has a story behind, so is a great way you wrote this poem, because let us see it in the way we lived some experiences and apply to our own life and memories. That is how we can share your emotion and understand that someone let a part of her soul into your heart. Thank you

    May I add, agreeing with the above comments, that I "heard" this as a song, but then it was over too quickly for a song and I wasn't going to comment. It is a poem, of course, that's the thread. But since I was "hearing" it as a song . . . I wonder if this is not material that could be also put into lyrics somehow? It sounds very personal, so that may not be an option for you. As a poem--great. I, too, want to remember this poem.

    . . . Still . . . you might want to consider . . . a song in addition to the poem!

    Every song I write starts as a poem and eventually becomes a song or multiple songs.

    "whatever floats your boat"

    Nice catchy phrase with a versatile use.
