Array ( [sid] => 43834 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Hal [time] => 2004-04-18 22:43:26 [hometext] => This is a poem that I wrote after my cousin, Hal, died. He meant a lot to my dad and I, and it hurts to think that he's not with us anymore... [bodytext] => I'm so tired...
Tears staining my cheeks
Blurred eyes

I remember
A time, I always saw you
You were always standing in church
I always looked forward
To see your smiling face
To hear your comforting voice

Now you're gone
No more than a forgotten memory to some
My own mother, claiming to not remember

I know know where you are...
Looking down at us from heaven
We'll take care of them for you
Never let them come to harm...

I'll never forget you Hal
You were a good man
A caring man
Most importantly
A family man [comments] => 4 [counter] => 155 [topic] => 21 [informant] => MorbidMongrel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to go on when you lose someone you respect and care for so much. It is a heavy load to carry in your heart. But he is with you everyday and never forget that there are just some special people in this world and appreciate them while you have them. Best wishes to you in the future.
