That death may win and dreams subside
and bile be emptied 'pon the earth.
Let weeds grow in this solemn place ,
for this man held such little worth.

Upon his grave, no marker set .
Let time erase his memory.
It's best that some men we forget,
long dead in shadows, there he be .

He preyed upon my precious friend
when but a child, for many years
and stole the innocence of youth.
This man deserves none of your tears.

He died and still, the secret kept.
His loved ones gave a eulogy
and praised the man they thought they knew..
His punishment is yet to be.

The God of all will be the judge.
I ask that He will help my friend,
remove the darkness from her life,
please bring her joy, help her mend.

A very beautiful and sensitive poem, Michael.
It sounds like he never got to pay for his sins...
I feel so bad for your friend...

Auguste, with a friend like you, she'll surely mend. Very moving piece of writing.

Michael - Well written, sensitive piece of work. Chris

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Michael, this is so heartbreaking, I'm so sorry for your friend and I too wish for her healing and comfort! (big hugggssssss) Shame on him and others who hurt people like that, he deserves no tears but rather slaps across the face for every tear he made her cry, my heart goes out to her, God Bless You, she is so lucky to have a special compassionate person like you in her life, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Michael

Sometimes a man like this creates his own punishment in his mind.  You are a caring man...Hugs for that.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

This was deeply touching, a moving tribute to the promises of God that are always true! Yes, he will judge and repay.  You are a true friend Auguste! I too pray your friend will find peace and restoration!

If someone did that to my friend, I'd feel the same way that you do. Well written, Michael, and I wish your friend well.
