WHO HAVE YOU LOST?

The picture above is my brother....He passed over 20 years ago to cancer....RIP BIG BRO

I want to cry, so I want poems about someone you lost who was dear to you.

I want to feel your emotions, your sadness, your pain, maybe just an encouraging poem about the person.

Write to the person, about the person, from the person, whatever....I just want to read those testimonials.

I know losing someone you love can be so hard but what better way to pay respects?



I prefer rhyme but not necessary....I'm open for any poetry.





NO RULES OTHER THAN PEN ME SOMETHING FROM THE HEART.

I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE AUTHORS NOTES....I HATE THOSE THINGS.
