This poem really touched my heart. See, Michael and I were born the same year, and I have leukemia too. Everyone on this Earth has a set time they are to live. Michael's was shorter than the rest of us, but ours could end tomorrow. I know that I could have died just as easily as Michael. But since I know that, I try to live my life to the fullest. And I am sure that Michael did that too. He is watching over us now. Up in heaven.

Amanda

Hi, I think this poem was great and it made me cry because in 96 i lost a really close friend Shannon, she got hit by a drunk driver who fled the scene, but since has been to jail and out already. I alos think it reminds me of my father who passed away in 98 of Heart Disease, then 3rd it reminds me of a friend in my school who was only 14 or 15 that passed away last year by a drunk driver who also fled the scene. He was thrown over 500 feet in the air, leaving nothing left but his sneaker. Thank you

mariana

This poem hit close to home. My sophomore year in high school, a friend(since the 7th grade) passed away due to leukemia. It was probably one of the most devastating things that happened to many of us. We all thought that SHE would pull through, but it was just too much for her to overcome. Kepp up the good work, Lindsay!

Tiffany

I loved the poem it made me cry I just want to say it relates to me in a way because when I was 10 my best friend died she got hit by a car.I am a 11 now and I will never for get her.SO I am sorry about your friend if this is a true poem but even if it isn't it is a great poem.

Cecilia
