So This Is What It's Like

So this is what it's like,
To lose a person evermore.
Like saying good-bye to childhood,
She will be here, nevermore.

Yet even the dead can teach,
Such as how to appreciate.
They preach how life is short,
And should not depreciate.

It's ironically funny how,
She already saved me once.
And - like Jesus - she comes back,
Saving the fool who jumps.

Scooping me up in her wings,
As one of the last of my friends.
Before disappearing amidst tears,
Swirling with the winds.

It's easy now to understand,
The belief in life after we die.
The heart is just too strong,
To admit to saying good-bye.

Likewise I now see how,
God speaks to people every day.
One must learn to love their life,
For in an instant it could go away.
