Array ( [sid] => 94499 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => In Memory of Steve [time] => 2005-05-15 20:30:29 [hometext] => Steve died on May 9, 2005 from liver cancer. He suffered for a little over two years. He was only 42 and left a wife with three children. These are the words she spoke to him. [bodytext] => IN MEMORY OF STEVEN
May 9, 2005

He never really asked for much,
Just a simple family life;
He only wanted what was best,
For his children and his wife.

He knew the day was coming,
On this he could depend,
He was prepared to meet his Father,
When his life on earth would end,

He asked the Father for a little time,
To prepare the way for them;
Trying hard to get things done,
Even though his days were dim.

He suffered in silence,
Never giving in to pain,
He didn’t want to show it,
In this there was no gain.

Rachel sweetly caressed him
And kissed his furrowed brow,
As she whispered to him softly,
“It’s okay love, you can go home now.

I know that you are suffering
And it’s time that you should go,
I want to say I love you
And I will miss you so.”

He drifted oh so quietly
In this life he’ll no more roam
No strife, no pain no sorrow
His Father took him home.

That poem actually choked me up. I lost someone recently and know how you feel. It's a beautiful poem and I'm sure that Steven appreciates it very, very much.

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. Â©
