Quiet as a Whisper
Quite as a whisper, you
silently slipped away.
We thought you were only
Napping to energize for the day.
But you were sleeping more deeply
than anyone can wake.
And now we spend our days missing
you and crying for your sake.
For such a sudden loss, there’s
just no way to prepare.
It’s going to take a very long time
to accept that you’re not there
