A field this morning glows
While beneath the cold river flows
Church bell ringing from across town
While the sun is ready to follow me down

Hold on by yourself
Last a little while
Love this world
With a quiet smile
It’s my time to go

Grownup eyes in the face of a child
Shining out a fever bright candle
Lighting up the sky free and wild
It was nothing I could handle

Hold me in your heart
Hold on by yourself
Last a little while
Love this world
With a quiet smile
It’s my time to go

Bare branches out here scrape the sky
I know there’s no reason to cry
These times come and go
I’ll be down below
I haven't been feeling very inspired of late.

I like that you had a verse that you repeated, and the tone is sad, but peaceful. It actually reminds me of one of my own stories. This is a great poem, and I hope you feel a little happier soon.
