On the surface this is a poem about the tragedy of losing someone that you love. More deeply it deals with the mistake of looking for something else when you should be satisfied with what you already have. Too often people are so busy pursuing happiness that they don't realize that they already have many things to be happy about in their life. Unfortunately, most of the time people don't truly appreciate those things until they are gone and it's too late.

I hope that you enjoy the poem and feel very free to leave any feedback in the comments.
