Death

Who knows what to say?

Sadness has filled in our hearts.

Death has overcome us.

My heart grieves for my grandfather,

My sister, and others I have cared for.

Death never stops coming to all of us.

We shall die some day.

Maybe now or soon.

My family is always with me even

Though they are dead.

One day, I'll see them again.

My heart will be filled with joy again,

But for now this must do.

One thing is for sure.

I still have people I love and care for

With me for as long as I live.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem was written shortly after my grandfather passed away.  It was the first poem I had ever written so it is the one that set off my poetry that you have read in my folder.
