Heavy Hearts

Looking into the eyes of your family, you can see the longing and pain that lingers since the last time they saw you.

Your friends all gather around to say goodbye one last time, tears in every eye. Heads bowed in prayer.

Its so painful to lose one so young, so early in life. Your life had just begun, and now its over.

What to say in this situation, there are no words. None that can heal the hurt in their hearts, our hearts.

Our world is all the more quiet, all the more scary, all the more sad and lonely. Now that there is one less angel.

As time moves on we all must move with it. Though our hearts will always have a hole where you once stood.

Soon, we will all move on. Live our own lives. Tell our own stories. Good, and bad.

Some may forget, while others cling to the memories. The good times, the bad times. The laughs, and the tears.


Now that your time on earth has ended, your time in the afterlife begins. With a heavy heart, I say goodbye one last time, and move on.
