Sometime that day must be
but it can't be now, I won't allow
your tired soul to leave.
Don't let your pains
take away your will to live.
You are my friend, don't let it end.
I have so much more love to give.
You are that mighty oak
that towers strongly over us all.
You've lost your leaves, but I believe
that tree will never fall.
I wish that I could say
we shared together our greatest days
but we both had different interests
and we went our seperate ways
When I returned, you took me in
and shared my life again
not so much as my Father,
but more-so as my friend.
As the child in me slipped away
and my own began to grow
I realized that you were right
there was so much I didn't know
You are still today, my best friend
and I want you to always be
Don't leave me now, it's too soon
I need you here with me.

Though many are willing to tell their tales
It makes a great story,but it's just not plausible.
and in the end, you can only watch it as it fails.
Thanks for all of the wonderful donations to the Poets Cancer Project.
At least the thread is here for others to read.
Disappointed, I see the time to put it all away and move on
Been a slice guys and gals..thanks for your valiant efforts.

If it stays alive it's because it's meant to be
I carried on while being suspended from forums ( lol) 2x
and from having some weird persons' pictures on my work...
still there aren't you waiting4a namechange..HA
Silence is the only thing that would kill this project
and if you go back to the first entry ever on this thread, you'll see that
I believe in the talent here....sadly...we aren't vocal enough with the written words.
Bottom of the ninth now for this...

Time to heal
I mourned my loss for many years
Grieved as if my life was at an end
Felt deep sorrow, shed many tears
Now it is time for my heart to mend
My life goes on without you there
My days are filled with other things
Things that we no longer share
Time to face what each day brings
Its time to live my life again
My memories to tuck away
No more tears to shed in vain
Turn my sky to blue from gray
But never will we be apart
For here you will forever stay
In a special corner of my heart
Until we meet again one day

For all those who like me have lost someone loved and have gone on the difficult path of time. Written for Uncle Art.
“Finding comfort”
Forget me
Let my memory slip away
Don't think of the pain
Don't remember this dark day.
The words they said
Before they died
Ring clear
Within the mind where I now hide.
But I still remember
The sound of your voice
And the happy countenance on your face
I remember your jokes
And these memories I must not replace.
But days go by,
And time takes hold
Months turn to years
Until one morning
Sorrow becomes nothing but a numbing cold.
Now I search franticly trying to find
The memories of you
Lost within my mind.
Hysterical cries
Ring throughout the room
As tears run down my cheeks,
Dark rivers of doom.
I can no longer see your face
I no longer know the feeling of your embrace
I can’t remember
And I’m scared beyond reason
Searching for memory in the mind that commits this treason.
Now I look to pictures to find
What I was supposed to forever keep in my mind.
The last time I saw you alive
I can’t remember exactly the day
But it was selfish of me to wish you would stay
All I can see is your yellowing skin
The whites of your eyes were red
You were sickly and thin.
And I knew you were nearly gone
Back to heaven
You had been drawn.
Now to ease the pain
Memories are what we have sought after
Everyday I long for the sound of your laughter.
Forget the darkness
Remember only good
I know I should
Someday we’ll all be together again
All of us here are thinking of you
I know somewhere you’re thinking of us too.
~Catherine-Evelyn.~
