A World Away Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Not a soul in the town had not heard your name. If the world were greater still you'd be rich with fame. Every face you ever met would smile for days on end. Your mum was always proud of you despite driving her round the bend. A funny day for all was the day you learned to drive. We cheered you on but secretly felt lucky to be alive! But you weren't so blessed, you found illness early on. Shortly after, our fears confirmed, we realised you were gone. The town fell deep into a trance. No life left at just a glance. I didn't want to believe. It all felt so surreal. Tears kept rolling on and on. Forgotten how to feel. Days went by and soon we thought this surely can't be right. We can bring together a vibe so positive: together we'll unite. A gathering of thousands met on that very day. To celebrate a life so worthy- throw all bad thoughts away. Somewhere you are happy. You'll never leave my heart. For I know that truly, we will never be apart.

agburns84 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 What a beautiful and touching poem, I especially loved the first and last verse. Almost brought a tear to my eye. So well put together too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
