R.I.P

 People always say,

things happen for a reason.
But I never figured out why
that it was you God had chosen.

That morning I got the phone call,
I didn't believe it at first.
But when it sank in,
my insides started to burst.

Crying and crying,
the tears kept rolling down.
I couldn't even picture
life with you not around.

You had a way of making your lil one laugh,
and putting a smile on everyones face.
not knowing what to do
their hearts  now have an empty space.

You always seemed that nothing was wrong,
a person with no worries.
Now when we think about you,
we will only have now are those memories.

im glad we finally had an understanding,

and im sorry you wanted to leave this place

i wanted to you to know you left the best of you

cause im staring at him in the face. 

 

we're not sure how to explain to your boy

that you got sick and had to go

he said loves you to the stars and back

and he will always love you so.

amazing. the way you described the hurt with the words, just fit so perfectly. i can see that it was such a hurtful and painful time. but in a way, the way you wrote it was beautiful. sometimes life will just do things like that. but what is important is what was left. it seems like he left many things that are just wonderful.

aww how sad. very good rhyming and the sadness just poured out of the words in this poem. this was an excellent tribute to your ex-brother-in-law, i'm sure he would've appreciated it. :)

What better way to express your sadness than in a beautiful tribute, such as this. To be able to write when the grief is so near, is a very hard thing to do, but hopefully it has been a great outlet for you. So sorry for your loss. Keep writing.

So sad and so sorry for your loss, I just recently lost my only son to a drunk driving accident. My heart goes out to you.

Oh my what touchingly beautiful poem and nice tribute... I know I asked many of the questions when my mom passed away... her grand kids had the hardest time for a long time understanding and still fully don't, of coarse I still don't fully understand it myself... I connected with this poem and am glad Morgan directed it my way.

Yea the passing of someone dear to us is very hard to deal with us. My ex-wife passed in febuary and it has been tough on my son...he's not truly understanding what has happened. Although he is doing much better now I know it is still hard for him. It can be very hard to cope with loss and sometimes we must make ourselves into granite just to overcome it. Nice work.

I feel as though you allowed me, everyone here to come into a very private moment and mourn with you. Thank you for this moment of introspection and chance to comfort. You did a wonderful job in getting your feelings across.

I don't know how I can review this, or even comment on this. It seems that I have peeked into a window of grief, and for me, it is a most uncomfortable feeling. Cause I dont know what to say, nor what to do....its like everything sounds trivial and tried.
I just hope that the healing process can begin for you, and I hope that the child can find love in the family that surrounds him....
