on a doorstep

just down the lane

my hand in

yours and I

thanked God for

you

on our knees

just hoping for a

way to live

more moments

together

I wanted to

love you.

on your bed

there you lay with

flowers on your

crown

I whispered to

the stars above

“why did you

have to leave?”

This poem is directly inspired by the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge at found here at Go Dog Go Cafe. The prompt this time was “ On our knees”. I am working through older prompts to help spark my imagination. Tune in tomorrow to see the new challenge for this week! Photo by Lucaxx Freire on Unsplash
