About the Poem
I wrote this poem after a kid in my school died of cancer. His death made me realize how delicate life is. I know that my generation tends to have the mentality that we are invincible but I see now that we aren't.
Goodbye |
| by Penny |
| God took you away. It doesn't seem fair, but in the back of my mind, you will always be there. You weren't a close friend, but our paths did cross, and your absence in this world, is to me a great loss. You were too young to die, and too innocent to feel that pain. Only heaven benefits, because you it has now gained. I may think of you a little less with each passing day, but your strength is something I won't forget, you have changed me in a way. I wish for you eternal peace; that's what you deserve my friend. I hope I lead my life well enough to meet up with you in the end. |

I just love this poem. Its that simple, but yet it reaches down to what you are really feeling. I write poems like this too and it such an inspiration to know that i'm not the only one that expresses my feelings on paper. Keep up the good work.

Our school also went through the death of a young girl who was only 16. She did in a car accident on the night of our homecomming. I didn't know her very well but when I saw her she always had a smile. I guess it showed me that you never know when you will take your last breathe.
chelsea

I lost my son at the age of 19 to cancer, he was diagnosed at aged 15, he never got to go to highschool because he was so sick, I encourage everyone to become bone marrow donors and get on the unrelated bone marrow registry. Christopher had an urelated bone marrow transplant as a last ditch effort to save his life. It is so sweet of you to write a poem about another student that fought and lost the battle to this dreaded disease. keep writing.
Rebecca
This poem really touched me. It was very emotive and I could really empathise with it. My little brother died of cancer. The points that the poem makes, are for me, all true. Goodbye is a poem that speaks true about the affecton that you feel when someone is gone. It was a brilliant poem and well-deserving of any praise.
Scott

This poem really touched me. Last week, on Monday, a friend of mine, Mike passed away after a 3 year long battle with a brain tumor. He was 19 years old. He always had a positive attiute about everything, even when he was sick. He never let you feel sorry for him. And he taught us the way we should live life & to never take anything for granted. life is too short. And just yesterday, it marked the 2nd anniversery of my best friends death. He had battled leukemia for 7 months before he passed. Just telling you that you are doing a good job with the poems & keep up the good work! RIP Mike & Joey, I love you.

I just found out today that a fellow student was raped and killed last night. I've been crying all day. I just can't imagine how it would be if that was one of my friends had died in her situation. I am using your poem to attach to the flowers I got to put at the flag pole. (where everyone is leaving personal notes, flowers, and balloons) I spent the day in the library with councilors b/c for some reason, it hit me REALLY hard. Its scary to think that it could have been ME in that situation. This poem has taken the words in my heart, and put them into something that makes more sense
