Love For The Lost

Thinking of the lost,

Of the loved ones fallen down,

The goodbyes barley spoken,

The hugs never given,

The 'I love you's' never to be heard.

We all fall just like they do.

Watching them suffer,

Watching them cry and say they will get well,

Then you watch as they get worse,

And at last they follow that light,

That light they welcome with open arms.

The tears are shed,

The memories are spoken,

The silent goodbyes are sent.

And just as they watched you come alive,

You watch them die at the hand of God,

But they are happy now,

Safe and sound,

And they watch us,

Just like we watch them in our heart.

This is beautiful, made me tear up a bit... this is deep with heartfelt feelings and loss, shows the way of life, and such love for loss of someone so close. I don't feel there is anything that needs to be changed in this... it speaks the feelings so greatly.

I hope your poem is the reality. I would hate to think my past loved ones aren't watching me...

very sentimental and so true making us all realise that every day we should live it as if it's our last...It's so painful losing someone who is close to us...the pain lasts for years and the heartache never goes away entirely. So let's all be nice to each other and make amends where need be..so we can hold our heads up high and say.."I did my best as a friend/lover/whatever",
Thanks for share
Very good indeed.
