Saturday November twenty third two-thousand & two,
Its just another typical day with no reason to be blue,
But then it happens right in the middle of the night,
You pray so hard with all your might,
Your Best Friend dies riding in a car when it struck a tree,
And You start thinking how could this be?
You had just seen her just 24 hours ago all safe & sound,
But its too late to say goodbye for she's Heaven Bound...
You can't even see her in her casket...her body tattered & torn,
You can't believe that she died, sixteen years has passed since she has been born,
Knowing that she was killed instantly doesn't help the pain,
But in some ways, Megan's Spirit still remains.
I love Megan & that's Forever,
maybe someday...We'll be together!

This poem affected me because I lost my best friend, Mandy, in high school. She had liver cancer. I was just recently able to write her a tribute poem, kind of like a letter to her. Some suggestions (I'm picky so please don't be offended): "Its just" should be "It's just", leave best friend & you lower case, the two justs are redundant, "its too late" should be "it's too late", Heaven Bound should be lower case, and so should spirit and Forever, This was a touching poem tribute to a friend, I felt genuine emotions coming from you. Remember the good times you had, don't focus on the bad.

This poem is so sad. I am sorry for your loss. You must have really loved her dearly. I have read several of your poems and they all seem to be about this one person. She would be honored by this I'm sure. Death at any age is hard to deal with but passing at such a young age does make us wonder why? I hope in the years to come it gets easier for you to remember the good times and not that one bad night. Best of luck to you.

This is such a heart-filled piece. The losses that you have endured over such a short time is so sad. I am so proud of the way you are trying to deal with it. Your poetry is filled with so much, I hope that it has been helping you. Best of luck hon, you deserve some happiness. Mary Anne

My heart goes out to you......can feel your pain and see your pain.....it can be absolutely earth shattering to lose your two dear friends.....it was probably suppose to be this way......from where i come we believe that all that we go thru....has a specific valid reason which we may not be able to envisage in our blur of grief....just as yet...and that every thing is predestined....a destiny chosen by none other than ourselves....again....all a process of learning and unlearning that our soul goes through....
all i can say is am sorry..despite knowing how inadequate these words are.....
your poem is very well emoted.....keep up your style "from the heart"..it is beautiful!!
God be with u!

I am so sorry for this loss. It must be so hard for you. Life must be really tough on you. But never give up hope. It will be bright knowing that your two best friends are right by your side.
Never give up hope! Your poem was really good. Heart touching! Very emotional and deep. So very sad.
Just remember the good times with your two beloved friends! Cherish everything and all will be well soon for you.
I hope for the best. Take care and keep your head held high.

Oh dear, these past years must have been for you have been unbearable at times. Yet, remember our lives are not judged by the pain we encounter, but by the way we live on.
But in some ways, Megan's Spirit still remains.
I love Megan & that's Forever,
maybe someday...We'll be together!
These lines tell me that you are still clutching on to hope. And yes, you will see her again someday, somewhere, in another time.
Blessed Be
