(this can be found on the main site--http://www.netpoets.com/poems/death/0227004a.htm) The caring prayers, the shaking shock - This awful news my world did rock. No one knew how it happened or why. We were all so sad; it made me cry. How unfair it should have happened now - Won't someone ever tell me how? Her tears had dried, her pain had healed; And God chose this time for her life to yield. It's later now, while we've moved on - We miss her as though she had just gone. We'll never forget all the good she did, Even though, to her our farewells we've bid. We love her still, we miss her yet; And on this I'll forever bet. If she is truly in our hearts, From us she'll never be truly apart. Nov. 1998 Elizabeth of the many names "He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!" -The Crucible |

The "shaking shock" of losing someone, and then the realization they are with us forever, so well portrayed in this poem. I felt the loss of a loved one as I was reading this, and shed a tear. I still miss her so after 30 years Liz |

I had just lost my mother around the time of your writing this if the date is correct. I sure do miss her and I sure wished it hadn't happened then. Well written. |

Lucky--I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I wrote this poem November of'98, the 12th or 13th I believe. Thank you. Janet, WhtDove, Severn, Hoot, and Claire--thank you all for reading this. It was the first poem I wrote and have been doing so since! Glad you liked it, it is very close to me. Elizabeth "He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!" -The Crucible |

Elizabeth, this is a beautiful poem. It made me think of my grandfather who passed away 11 years ago. Good job. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Elizabeth, very poignant! I feel your loss, and I share your grief as I recall the loved ones I have also lost. Even though they live on in our hearts, it sometimes feels like a poor substitute, doesn't it? Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |
