Of all the beautiful things
On the face of this earth,
You were once the loveliest.
There was the sky, the oceans,
Flowers, and you.
Then you left me and
My world came to an end.
The skies became gray,
The oceans grew rough,
The flowers all died,
But the worst thing of all
Was when you said goodbye.
