ON DYING YOUNG

yes...another one for Johnny

Only the good die young

and that ain't fair

people go on with thier lives

as if you were never there

 but you weigh on me and shadow my mind

a way to hide from your memory

I wish I could find

 

So much to offer, so much to give

what would you have done, if you had lived?

Never too young to die

Lord, that is so true!

Time keeps moving on for every one

Every one...

but you

We're all are given a set amount of time, to walk upon this world. Whether for good or bad. How we impact on those around us, is the true memorial that we can leave behind to the ones that love us. Carrie, your poem shows the huge impact that Johnie has upon your life. May his spirit find true rest and you're able to look at the shared memories, as joyous times. Instead of tainted by sadness. Thank you for sharing this very personal poem with us.

A beautiful tribute to someone you must have really loved. It's hard when someone dies. It's always a case of "but they were so young". I felt the same even when my gran died. And I wont even get started on having lost my child.

But this isn't about me, it's about a very well penned poem.

Great job!!!

Dying so young you have put into words so very beautiful Carrie. A picture painted with words. I have asked for your friendship too. Anne
