So Young

This is about a friend i had who died of leukemia.

Just a child

14 years or so

can’t believe your gone 

a spirit on my soul

i was just a young thing

the moment i heard

and with that second 

my innocent nature condemned

A girl following god

you suffered for so long

a reader, a writer

something we now share

i wish i could have known

how the past would change me

for now i know

death follows me everywhere

You walked up to the light

and and waved good bye to us

your purpose had been served 

and an angel you turned

I sit here and wonder

am i the only one

to lose my faith in HIM

when someone dear was lost

Sick for so long

yet still so strong

you cared for everyone

the weak and the scarred

If you could talk to me now

what would you say

would you even care to stay

now that I’ve grown up

A girl who walked into heaven

who never learned to drive

who never got to show the world

That she had a creative mind

Years may have pasted

and time my go on

but that never seems to mean

that what you did is gone

[just is]

i knew someone that died from lukemia, it's so sad to see them suffer.
like the flow and rhyme scheme. Such a well expressed read.
