[hometext] => For my nephew Brian who is fighting the great fight
[bodytext] => There is no answer to this query I scream It's not happening thus it's but a bad dream A man lies pale, wasting away whilst in his prime Slowly, painfully, fading away before it's time Mother, father by his side tending to his every need Family and friends gather to hope, pray he'll succeed Cancer they say has come to claim another loved one It's too soon; you can't have him; he's way too young His eyes and smile still the same man we watched grow But his poor body's trying to tell us it's time; he must go He struggles to stay, using all the strength he can find He doesn't want to go, leaving a grieving family behind In his short time, he gave laughter, love, made us glad To have known this blessed son, brother, friend and dad Why him, not fair, not right this death's intrusion on his life The mere thought of his loss cuts the soul with a black knife So many stories, memories left for him to tell and create God, please, we pray, don't allow death to write his fate One more smile, one final story, tight hugs, sad kisses goodbye Never to understand the loss of you, no matter how we try [comments] => 6 [counter] => 337 [topic] => 52 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => goodbyepoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
