In Memory Poem

A person may be dead and buried, but if we are lucky we will never be forgotten.

Gone But Not Forgotten

© Cecilia M. Kocher
The years we've shared have been full of joy.
The memories we've made will go on and on.
I haven't stopped crying since you went away,
and I've asked God time and time why couldn't you stay.
You lit up my life, my hopes, and my dreams.
You've opened my eyes to see what it all means.
So now that you're gone how can I forget;
Because you were the greatest out of all I have met.

This poem literally made me cry
and that's hard to do cause I'm a 16 year old boy

My brother was 20 when he was in a car accident. He was in he hospital 3 days but it felt like forever. They said he was brain dead so my parents told them to pull the plug. I have a lot going on. This made me think of him

Denan and me were colleague for 15 years.
Everyone in the office or those who had work together with him will loves him for his helpfulness & kindness. Unfortunately Denan met an accident on 22nd May 2010 while on his way to work. He died on the spot without seeing us for the last time or saying goodbye. He is just gone forever! Today is the cremation day. Everyone of us are crying even the tough guys were tearing. The pains are unbearable We will miss Denan dearly and hope Denan will rest in peace.

This really reminded me of my grandpa when I read it because he was a big part of my life. and when it comes to emotional things it's hard too make me cry but when I read this I cried. :(

My dad died one year ago (August 4, 2009). He was 62 years old and had a massive heart attack. He was taken from us way too soon. This poem describes my last year perfectly. I miss and love him so much.
