In Memory
We have all lost someone that we love today
One that we all wish
was never taken from us this way
But god thought it was their time to leave
Ans now this is the moment
For us their friends and family to grieve
We keep asking ourselves why
Why do the good die young?
Why don't we ever get a warning
To when our day will come?
We were all just having birthdays and having so much fun
Tell us why you had to take them
I mean our lives have just begun
It hurts so much to think
That they are no longer here
When we keep seeing their face
Through each falling tear
Now knowing that their memory will never disappear
Although we keep pleading that this tragic ordeal
Is anything but real
We are demanding the pain we feel
Of our hearts breaking and tearing from the seams
To somehow just be one heart rendering bad dream
Though as we awaken and realize it is not
We can remember the good times we had with them
And forget about the times we all fought
There for please cherish all the memories
And never forget their laugh
Because we all have a piece of them with in us
And that is how the love they had
For everyone will forever last
We hope that you knew
How many people truly cared about you
And that in your passing you have taught us
That we should always stand tall
And that we have to try to make the best of it all
Hopefully through this tragedy we all will wake up & see
That life can be short and taken from us so easily
You all truly will be missed by so many
We are grateful for knowing you
And lucky to have been part of your lives
We know that Heaven's gates
Have been opened up for you
The Angel's have given you your wings
So that you all may watch over us
And push us so we may strive to do better things
A poem written by Elizabeth Mooney
I wrote this poem after a real good friend lost his battle to this disease. This really helped me through the struggles I was facing and I hope that it may bring some piece to you as well. My father also wrote a poem that might be helpful you can go to our website at merrychristmasfromheaven.com
