In Memory Of John

Folder: 
Memorials

I was a mere five or six whenever you passed away, I really wasn't sure what death was, or why you couldn't stay.



I realize now that things were hard, I couldn't put myself in your shoes. I just miss you so much, Someone special like you is difficult to lose.



I thought that I'd be over it, because it happened so long ago. I'm not, needless to say, I think about you everyday.



Although I was little, you never seemed to mind hanging out with me, even though I know I was bratty, like I always would be.



I totally believe in life after death, I miss you so much.  I can't wait to see you in Heaven, if I'm lucky enough to make the cut.



Until then Johnny, I send to you my love, I hope you know how much I love you.  

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In memory of my cousin Johnny that shot himself whenever I was little.  He was older than me, I looked up to him, thought that all was perfect in his life, but apparently I was wrong.  I love you, John!

I don't believe we ever get over losing those we love and that is a good thing. I have trouble understanding why people do things like this but like you say, you have to be in their shoes. Don't know your personal religious beliefs but as for "making the cut," no luck involved. It is simple placing your trust Jesus Christ. Hope you don't mind me saying that.

Very poignant and filled with emotion. We all experience this type of loss, but we must go on.

Well written. Poetry is a great release. I like to say "If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then poetry is its language".

Hugs and Peace.
