My life only lasted twenty-five years
i look to the past through these tears
and wonder what will go through your mind
will your heart be broken for the rest of time
lay here dying
Wishing for you by my side
I know you’re sad without me around
You can't believe I'm dead
But I'm nowhere to be found
I'm some where so far away
I'm here with everyone you've ever lost along the way
But even though your there and I'm here
We're never apart
You'll always own a special piece of my heart
So look to the future
But don’t forget the past
Remember all the memories and make them last
As I entered heaven
God only had one piece of paper
So I made a choice
I wrote you this letter
Because you'll never be able to hear my voice
I wrote to tell you goodbye
And to tell you how good it feels to finally fly
I want to tell you so much
But my words are few
I wish there were something I could say
To make this better for you
But don't forget
We'll meet in just a life or two
So please dry your eyes
Because your making me cry
You know that everybody has to die
This was my time
But I'm not gone completely
I'm always there
Even if I can’t be seen
Every once and awhile
I'll come and visit while you dream
I'll have to go here in a minute though
I wish I could stay
I'll write you back real soon
But till then keep you chin up
And please don’t cry
Remember this isn’t goodbye

These are some great lines! I really like this poem. My condolenses on your loss but this is a great way to look at it. I like how in this poem you change the rhyme to verse and back again. You can tell it is just what you felt and though i know you will encounter some hypocrites, i think it is a great poem! -
