We Are But A Vapor I stared, as I lingered beyond reality For all that I could HUMANLY, possibly see? ALL I COULD SEE....... Was all "I" wanted to see, Everything but the truth, glaring at me. A vapor blowing in the wind, Time that was no more to me. It blew by so quickly, too free No more, to remain a mystery. I remembered what I saw that day, It was " beautiful" to me in some strange way. I could not explain this love I had that made me sad, The one I felt for this friend, my lover, my dad. Why did he have to leave so early, and why so soon That is what I asked myself that hour, that I rehearsed that tune? I could not answer that question, no matter how I tried It was too much that came at me, and then I cried......and cried. I wanted to remember him just as he was Happy and go lucky, at home with us for this cause The joker he was at times, no harm he meant He knew how to make people laugh, he was often spent I smiled.......as I saw him, as HE truly was So... HIS memory remains in my heart for now My emotions will take a final bow I will let the past go, and for now...... let HIM go For I know one day I will join him, yes it is so!! He is gone, but will never be forgotten For...... Too much love remains in our hearts Our love will remain Beyond the grave. Our love to Dennis we always gave The memories we will always save! Dedicated to Dennis Taken too suddenly, and too young From us this day September 11, 2000 This is a memorial I wrote for a neighbor of mine, who was tragically taken in a farming accident today. He leaves behind a young wife, 2 very young newly wedded daughthers, and one teenage son. It made me sooooooo sad, especially since so many of my days, I have spent not valuing my own life. I often do not realize my main purpose is to be here for others too. I think we are here for others as much as ourselves. Wow.......we are here for more than ourselves maybe ,hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what a thought???? to really keep(really doing some reflecting here)?????? Yes we could be......cry.....cry......cry. Please lift them up passions.....this is a hard one, I felt it hit my heart like ton of bricks. Thanks! [This message has been edited by Illusion (edited 09-12-2000).] |

Illusion~~~Let me start off by telling you I am very sorry to hear what happened. But with the help of you, you can keep him alive. HIS memory remains in my heart for now My emotions will take a final bow I will let the past go, and for now...... let HIM go For I know one day I will join him, yes it is so!! He is gone, but will never be forgotten Even though he passed away he will never be forgotten. And just as you said one day you's will meet again. ~*Each day is a treasure box from God, just waiting to be opened*~ |

I'm so sorry to hear that... your wrote such a beautiful poem for obviously a wonderful person. Neighbours can become such an integral part of our lives that it is a real shock and hurts heaps when they suddenly are taken from this life. You're correct... we are also here for others.  Take care.~ Tara ~ "A poem should not mean, but be" - Archibald MacLeish |
