Unsent Letters
Carlos, Hanna, my dear friends,
you met such early ends,
and I'm empty inside.
I ushered at your wedding.
Warm love you'd soon be spreading -
the happy groom and bride.
I'll love you both forever -
forget your friendship - never.
Carlos and his spouse.
You treated me as your kin -
meals, holidays, way back when,
inside your cozy house.
Marriage, family and friends -
you never said, "it depends".
You always honored them.
Your lives served as a guide.
To me you did provide
life's lesson - such a gem.
Carlos, all those years of pain,
despite cancer, you'd maintain
goodness through and through.
Hanna, what a shock to hear
you too were taken that year.
The world has lost you two.
So, this letter is to say,
'twas too soon to go away,
if I could let you know.
Just sixty and sixty-three,
you meant so much to me,
and I miss you so.
