(Dedicated to the fourth anniversary of the death of John Leonard Taylor, my Poppy)



It’s been four years

Since you’ve been gone

It hasn’t really seemed

To have been that long



Each year I remember

What it was like back then

And how it felt

To lose my very best friend



But time goes by

As I’m sure you know

And within four years

There has been room to grow



Like a regal flower

I blossomed and grew

Shedding the old

Accepting the new



Although I still miss you

With each day gone by

I can write these words

And no longer cry



Time heals all wounds

At least that’s what they say

Yet I still remember you

In my very own way



I know you’re still with me

And I’ve accepted you’ve gone

I hold on to your memory

Like a sweet country song



Forever and ever

You will be in my heart

As I know one day

We will no longer be apart



I hope all is well

And you’re happy where you are

Because now, four years on

You’re still my shining star
