((Please, people, I want a lot of feedback on this poem, good or bad. Thanks.))

Rest in Peace...
My child;
As the sun sets o'er the hill.

There'll be no more pain...
For you;
Or Hellish days gone by.

Rest easy my child...
And always smile;
For you shall be remembered.

No! Do not touch the darkness...
There is light ahead;
Open your heart and know its grace.

The tombstone seems to glow...
Are you giving me a sign?
What is it you wish me to know?

Your silence I cannot bare...
Why did this have to be?
Why are you taken from me?

Surely God has a plan...
For he is kind and good;
He would not do me wrong.

Rest in peace...
My child;
As the sun sets o'er the hill.

I wish that you could hear...
That you knew my final words;
But alas, it cannot be.

Go in peace...
My child;
May you find comfort.

I wish good things for you...
The best the Lord can offer;
For now I must go.

I can hear his voice calling...
Calling me home;
As the casket is lowered.

Goodbye my child...
I will see you soon;
When he calls you home as well.

And never forget...
My child;
I love you so.

Ah, thank you for the replies...I was hoping for more. Go, tell your friends to view this and reply. As for you GeorgiaPaver...I'm only seventeen. I have felt no pain of this such...but something drove me to write this poem. Go figure.

mm, this is interesting...sad...it's good that you havn't felt it personally but i feel bad for those that have. as for good or bad, i think this could be improved a little bit, i'm not sure how exactly, but if you shortened it a little bit and put more potency into the words it would be more catchy and tear jerky. just a thought.
oh, by the way, are you Cayce's Jeremy? (i mean, where you) just wondering.

Well, this was written in a matter of five minutes or so, but yeah, thanks for the criticism. As for Cayce, she's a poser, and I wish people wouldn't mention her name around me. God only knows what type of crap she's been spreading.

River, he was sadly Cayce's but now Jeremy and I have been dating for over 14 months and are now engaged.

As for the poem baby, its really good. :-D

What does it matter, we will all die in the end anyway.
