Sympathy Poem
I wrote this after my friends mother died, she seems to get strength from it, of that I am so glad.
Still Here

Stephen Hamer
Remember them like they’re still here
Even though they are not
They have gone to a better place
Somewhere we are not
The feeling of loss we get
Some people don’t understand
Just to get one more day
When our parent walked this land
I wasn’t there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn’t get to tell him
All the things I had to say
You and your mum where best of friends
Remember that’s what you told me
So speak like she’s still here
Tell your kids the stories
They won’t think your queer
So don’t be ashamed
Because I am not
To talk about them
They gave us a lot

Even after 5 years of him being gone, I want to cry when I think of him. He was such a beautiful person, and he had such a sad life.
