Tears roll down my cheek
as I weep for my fallen friend
who was taken away too soon
staring up into the heavens, I scream
"Why did she have to die?!?"
suddenly, I grow silent, my senses peaked
listening, as if to hear a reply
but, only silence fills this dismal place
glancing down at her grave
slowly a strange feeling overwhelms me
as if some force is with me
draining the pain and sorrow from my being
I slowly start to smile as I remember her face
the way she made me feel inside
the many times we spent together
I soft whisper, "I'll miss you"
as I turn to walk away
I lay a rose upon her grave
my way of saying goodbye
and to show that I will always love her

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

That's a very sad, touching piece . A beutiful poem, that made me swallow hard . Such a shame . A friend remembered is a friend forever though .
Thanks .

Hi, I was at the main site today and came across a poem of yours. So I wanted you to know. This is so sad...but hopeful too. A nice poem for this Memorial weekend.
