Ryan
by Stef Knudsen
I quiver. I shiver.
They tell me the news.
I wonder why He chose you.
I walk the streets remembering you
No matter what they say,
it’s still the same.
Only you could fill the empty void
I know you’re okay and feel no pain,
But with each passing day
I say a prayer asking God to take care of you.
We miss you and love you.
In our hearts is where you’ll stay,
Until we meet again in Heaven someday.

I was browsing through poems and this one caught my eye, "Ryan". I lost my son to Cancer on May 8, 2004. His name was Ryan and he was 17 years old. I ask myself "WHY as well. And you are right, only God knows. Thank you for sharing, Trudy

My grandfather died two days ago in another country far away from mine in which i hadn't seen him for years,,i dont think there is a single drop of tear left in my eye cause ive cried so much. I tried to keep it all in around my mother and my family but as i read these i begin to fall mercy to my emotions. My grandfather was my companion. When I was a little boy i remember he would put his hand on my shoulder and say "son" "no matter what you do, always live with honesty and kindness". My grandmother died when she was 50 and my grandpa never remarried, so i know they are finally together again. Thank you for these poems and godbless those who have passed. my grandpa god rest his sould 1934-2004

OMG. I had a "little brother" that died in 2000. His name was Ryan. I was thinking about him when I found this poem. This touched me in a way that you will never know. Thank you for psting it. It helps knowing that someone else can put into words how I feel about him and how i miss him.

This poem made me cry. It's so true we are the only person who knows how we feel. Things as tragic as this take a lot of time to feel all that they are going to. We will never completely heal but the best we can is what we need to do.
