I am looking for the poems to help ease the suffering and sorrow of family members left behind to deal with the death on a family member that was unexpected (car accident, drugs, murder, suicide etc...) It is so hard for families even when death is from a long or short illness, but when a family member dies especially a young person it is very hard to know the right thing to do or say. So having said this I hope this gives everyone an idea of what I am looking for in the poem.
Rules:
Must be uplifting
No foul language
If submitting a prewrite I would like a new stanza added to it. And it must fit the topic.
I will accept 1 prewrite and 1 new poem from each author.
Please be aware that I have had 3 death's that I am dealing with in 1 week. Please keep it uplifting and sensitive to the topic. In advance I thank those who have chosen to participate in this contest.

I don't know if I can write here or not. Just looking at it, brings back so many memories, and wells my eyes with tears beyond control. What a great idea for a contest. I will try to come up with something, but can not promise you.

I was reading contest and saw yours. I am so sorry for your loss. What a horrible experience to deal with all at once. Rest assured that heaven has taken them into its bosom and you will see them again. *rose

I understand your pain. It's truly hard to deal with the loss of a loved one. I lost my oldest brother, my youngest brother, my grand aunt and my youngest my son all in a matter of months. Still God knows whats best for me even when my weary eyes can't see. God bless you is my sincere prayer.

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Melody!!!I am so honored!!! Gold and silver!!! Thanks again and glad that my poems could comfort in your saddest times...smile...love you...Toni -
I thought I would remove my genius poem from your contest as you do not strike me as a very intelligent person. I hope you are not offended, but in the last analysis I do not care 2 pence.
