im sorry this cant be better, but i struggled to put it together in memory of mike hascheck, a boy who died this past year at my school from a disease he fought all his life: The autumn wind bit down me with an unfamiliar sting and as I stood in silence my ears began to ring. we gathered ‘round in memory for one who passed away and sadly knowing not of him I had little to say. Our paths had crossed once or twice we shared a common glance yet to sit down and talk to him I never had the chance. So as I stand in solitude surrounded by his closest few why am I so touched by the loss of this boy I never knew. Maybe trough his mothers tears I see into his heart or is it his brothers humble eyes that sets his soul apart. The instant that my feelings changed Ill probably never know but standing here beside his grave my tears I must let go. |

I would like to think this to be a true piece, and in the loss of one life, another life began a new spurt of growth and is learning to see compassion in a new light. Welcome to Passions, I hope to see more of this type of fine work from you again. [You may want to run a spell check and grammar check now and then, your work would read much smoother.] |
