A Letter From the Grave

Okay before i begin, i want to say this isn't to my family, I despise my family for good reasons, i have a poem about it which explains more, but any way, this is to my family of friends if they were still alive.

You were my legs when I couldn't walk,
You were my life when I was dying,
You were my breathe when I couldn't breath,
You were my soul when I lost mine.

You saved my life,
You helped me recover,
You took me in,
And I was a mear stranger...

In a time when I was different,
In a place where I was unfamiliar,
In a world where I was alien,
I was shot as a mortal.

You all helped,
You all took turns,
You all carried me,
And got me to a hospital.

You adopted me as one of your own,
Let me live as one of you,
Let me join your way of life,
When I was nothing like you.

I changed,
You still stayed with me,
You changed,
And I died.

Through my life at every turn you were there for me. Thank You!

    Well Done!

    Wow! A very powerful piece, and you surely make me want to read more of you, you are a very interesting soul, and I sure wish you all the best with you and yours...I for one have problems with my family too, and how I don't even like thinking about it, gets me down just like that! But anyways, I like what you wrote here, and it was, and is very moving, and heart-felt! Thanks for sharing you, much love, always sweet soul!

    Interesting write! I assuume that if you were going to change something, it would be that you did not die?. Nice rhyme scheme.

    Here's the rules: the first person to enter must read "Sarah" by me! everyone else must read the most recent poem written, I will notice if you don't!
    Its obvious that you need to not do sticky caps, and think about it Erotica? no! cursing is okay (but not preferred). I will read them all and actually judge them on three things.
    1. Subject
    2. Emotion
    3. Grammar and Spelling

    im submitting this to all contest entries but i think you've followed all the rules.

    hm...I want to know what caused you to die and if you were to change something what would it be. I can read it it has good spelling and grammar but I don't know if it was one of the subjects, please explain.
