Analysis of Love-light



As I stand on this hill, with a beautiful view,
All of my thoughts go centered to you.
The smiles, the tears, I shared with a friend,
Shall live in my heart, never seeing joys end.

The moon comes so slowly,
Right down from the sky;
And, wipes from my face, the tears that I cry.

We tied them so neatly, up into a bow;
And, took them to Heaven,
So love’s light could show.

About this poem

I wrote this poem for a friend when he was dying of bladder cancer. This was over a decade ago. But, I can’t find the original poem. So, I am using today’s date for date written.
