[bodytext] => “The Facts of Life: A Poem for All Who Grieve” For Nike and all who loved him: Close your eyes Wipe your tears I know you are filled with many fears But all is right All is well Just close your eyes and listen to my tale Things may break And things may fall But someone loves you through it all Life’s not fair All good things must end Wherever you go you will have someone to call your friend Someone is always there You are never alone As long as I’m alive you will always have a place to call your home All will be well Although at times things might not be right But together we will get you through all of your plights People may die And people may leave But it’s okay little girl to let your heart grieve. Life will continue Things will move on There is a time to feel weak and a time to be strong Just close your eyes Come on and shed all of your tears I will do all in my power to drive away those fears In Memory of Nike 10/23/95-4/26/05 Author’s Note: On April 26, 2005 my world ended, my little dog Nike was eaten by a coyote. This poem is a response to it. I wrote it for my little sister Kelley who believes that she must hold the weight of the world on her shoulders. I wanted to let her know that it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to love someone, and it’s okay to move on and live again. Most of all I wanted her to know that wherever she goes someone loves her. Please cherish all you have because in a single moment your world can end.

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. ©
