They brought him down the aisle, many shedding tears. There were voices singing, everyone remembering your years. A solemn voice cried out, revealing intimacy... I cannot explain what you have meant to me... I saw your actions, I shed tears that were my own... I saw you salute this great man as they laid him to rest, your father, long after you were grown. Now it is said that you are gone...left a world without you. A man that we all loved so much, and now we cannot have you. Your memory is etched in stone, inside my mind... And yet, I never knew you. I wonder what this nation will find without your presence. A fallen favorite prince... your beautiful bride and her dear sister... Another sad tale in this American novel... The dynasty will stay intact, though this heart-breaking tragedy unfolds... As you saluted your father so many years ago, today, I salute you. ©~onevoice~ ------------------ ~onevoice~ "I never kissed somebody so that they would break my heart." |

This is wonderful, so touching. He was a beautiful man with so many dreams left to live, but now he's gone to his creators hand with the company of his wife, and sister-in-law. They will continue to shine on us from above now. |

I had to respond back again to ask if I can make a copy of this poem, it just captivated me with the words you wrote. |
