This is in memory of Chase Jackson of Yakima, Wa. We will miss him very much. He's going to missed by everyone who knew him. I would just like to say sorry to all his friends and family for losing a GREAT friend and wonderful son. But he will always be there in our hearts. Never let that go. Keep his memory alive. Chase, I Love and Miss You!!! *~*~*~*~*~Chase Richard Jackson~*~*~*~*~* *~*~February 27, 1983-September 2, 1999~*~* *~*~*~*~*~*~Varsity Football # 26~*~*~*~*~*~* **~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~RIP~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~** You loved playing football You had tons and tons of friends They all loved you dearly And didn’t want your life to end. You will be missed by all who knew you We all love you so We will miss you dearly We didn’t want to see you go. You had very few enemies But there were those who didn’t care Some think it was those people that messed up your life. Who would of thought they’d even dare? You were one of the sweetest guys I’d known Always brightening up peoples days You had an impact on everyones life In so many ways. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone When you left your place on earth We knew God was calling you home. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~I LOVE YOU CHASE~*~*~*~*~*~*~* |

It is such a sad thing...but it makes it all the more lovely that you wrote it for your friend. Very nice. ~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

Hmmm... Well, I'm going to be honest. I didn't really like the poem very much. I was just thinking to myself, if I was this guy Chase, I wouldn't be uplifted at all by this poem. I just think it's a little superficial. I know its probably not the best poem to critique heavily, and I do admire the simplicity of the poem, but I think it couldn've been so much more. Why focus on his actions and friends in the first two stanzas, when you can write even *more* on why he was so special to you. I'm sure that he wasn't an important part of your life because he played football. ----- Anyway, I'm sorry that you lost an important friend, and I'm sorry to bash your poem so much; feel free to do the same to mine ![]() Rodeo Jones |

No, I appreciate any comments about my poems. But one thing that I must tell you, I wrote this poem to explain to people that I did care for him, and how he was when he was with us. I am in the process of writing another poem about him, which does explain what he meant to me. But this poem wasn't intended to do just that. I wanted people to know how he was in life. *~You are the star for which all evenings wait~* |
