One Not So Special Day<br />
Carolyn Mello – Faculty<br />
I’ve been to college and am full of knowledge<br />
Because we cannot permit our best days to ever be behind us.<br />
He did for others more than himself.<br />
One not so special day, our love was a friendship that caught fire.<br />
I didn’t believe I could live without him.<br />
One not so very special day, he died.<br />
His memory will always be with me.<br />
I want to remember his kindness.<br />
When I listen to my heart, I hear his laughter.<br />
Now everyday is winter; I have no spring.<br />
No more story about love.<br />
He has gone to his rest, at peace having done right by others. He fought the good fight,<br />
finished the race, and kept the faith, all that he was supposed to do.<br />
He inspired me with his love of music, and now his spirit is set free.<br />
No one told me of the sorrow.<br />
I’m what time and circumstance have made me.<br />
Now, every day is not so very special.<br />
