GONE IN AN INSTANT

You flew so high
You could touch the sky
Pushing back the thoughts that you could possibly die
And the fear that it could all be gone in an instant

 
Admiring your strength and courage as I look up at you
Though from down here on earth it’s a different view
I know by experience very well too
That it could all be gone in an instant

 
Life is fleeting at best
Yet you stood up to the rest
Passing a hero’s test
And still it was all over and gone in an instant


It is with a tear in our eye
And mournful sadness we cry
That the pain of your loss even as time passes by
Will never be gone in an instant
