Death of a Friend Poem

This is a poem I wrote in memory of Lauren Rhodes. She was one of my good friends. She past a way in a car wreck not to long ago. I felt like she was whispering these words in my ear.

Don't Cry For Me Today

© Mercades
Don't cry for me today,
I wouldn't want it this way.
Be strong and smile,
for you will see me in a while.
I know you miss me,
but now in Heaven I will be.
Do not keep your sad face,
I am in a much better place.
Do not let your tears fall,
for I cannot wipe them all.
Yes, my life wasn't long.
But I'm begging you to be strong.
Live every moment as if it were your last,
I won't forget any memories that have passed.
Cherish life and love as I watch you from above.
As I remember all of the good things,
I come to see I have gotten my wings.
It is time to go and fly,
as your guardian angel I will try.
Don't cry for me today,
I'm on my way.
Soaring through the sky,
I watch all of you telling me goodbye.

Love you Lauren.

  • I had a dear friend murdered on November 29, 2011. He was a special man who loved his children, his friends were also a big part of his life. He loved life and to have it taken from him at such a young age of 53. This poem is wonderful, Thank-You

  • My little brother passed away Jan 10th, 2012 and one of his friends posted your poem on his Facebook. We read it to mom in Spanish it made her feel some what in peace. My brother was the youngest of eight siblings and loved by so many people. He was loving and caring for everyone that came into his life, although he was lost and sad in this world, a side that not many people knew about. My brother was only 30 years of age. Reading your poem just reassures me he's in a better place. Thank you and God Bless

  • I lost a dear family friend, her name was Chris, I just got back from her viewing and service about 30 minutes ago, and well she loved my cousin dearly and I loved her as family, she died from a drug over dose, and I cried so much today that my head hurts, but when I read this it made me feel almost glad. Thanks for the poem, it can be supporting and positive in some case, especially mine...

  • My son lost both of his best friends On May 22, 2012. This poem has helped bring a little comfort to him and me. Only two hours before the accident I was helping the boys make their schedule for their Sr. year of high school. They were talking of the future plans. Kyle was so excited that he was planning to get his pilot license. He wanted to fly more than anything. Now I know they are soaring through the sky and watching over all of their friends. Miss you Kade and Kyle. Forever our angels
