Sitting here all alone,
I'm thinking of u my friend,
And how u'd have loved to see this year.

Each day is a battle for me,
Cos i still cant face the truth,
That u're gone and never to return.

If only i knew u'd pass away so soon,
I'd have held u dearer,
And told u i cared.

It's been over a year now,
But to me like yesterday,
Cos all the times we shared,
But never cherished,
Are now all i have to hold on to.

What i find hard to believe still,
Is why the young die,
Young and just knowing life,
Yet gone before reaching that realization.

The Lord has been given me strength,
To bear the loss of u my dear friend,
So with each day,
Comes hope,and even more strength.

And i hope,
That when i reach heaven,
You'll be there with the lamb,
To welcome me.

It is sad when our loved ones leave us at any age.  But as long as our love lives on, they are with us still.  Joyce

I know this poem is about you, but it brought tears to my eyes as I thought about my own life and dear friends who have passed on before me.  One in particular was quite a bit younger than I was but had already faced the trials (Surgery, Dialysis, Failed Organs, Loss of Sight... etc.) that I was soon to face and he was of great comfort to me. (A Mentor to me) Those things that he led me through eventually took his life while I remain reasonably healthy... Anyway, I like that your poem ends with Promise... I believe like you that my friend who led me through so many trials here on earth has gone ahead to Heaven and will one day show me the streets in Glory.  GOD bless you and thank you for sharing your poem with me.

It is so hard in the beginning to even accept the loss, and when you the only thing that keeps us afloat are the memories.  I have had so many losses in the last two years that if I didn't celebrate their life instead of staying in that sad and sorrowful place of their death, I would have not made it through these two years, having lost my best friend, Father, goddaughter, and two other very close friends.  I sincerely hope you find that place of acceptance where you feel comfort.

This one really touches me. I still fight with the why's. I lost my younger brother in August, who was killed by a train.

I still cry. I still don't understand, and I still find it hard to believe he's gone.
Wishing I'd have taken that extra moment to talk to him instead of being in a hurry.
I know he's in a better place, and I know I shall see him again. I told him to meet me when it was my turn to go.

Even though I'm glad he doesn't have to struggle on Earth here anymore, I sure have a lot of sadness knowing he's not with me here. It's a hard reality. God does bring comfort. Their memories will carry on with us.

May God bring you comfort in your sorrow.
