About the Poem

This poem is about a friend of mine who died at the age of 20. Everyone knows that death isn't fair. We don't know how much we love the person until the person we love dies. We always move on, but we'll never be completely over it.

We All Know

We all know you're gone
and gone is forever.
I sometimes think I hear and see you,
then I think its not true
and it breaks my heart in two -
two pieces that slowly mend together,
month after month.
Memories are painful and also wonderful.
Why God wanted you now is something no one knows,
why you took his hand and left us all behind.
What we will always know and always show
is that you are a wonderful friend!

Hi my best mate died a month ago from meningitis and she was only 18. As im only 18 im finding it very hard to deal with especially as she was only ill for 2 days. poems like this help me to realise what a great friend she was and that she will never be forgotten.

The poem WE ALL KNOW by Keri Olson, was such a good poem, everytime i read it i think of my friend that died in a car accent about 6 months ago. Her poem has meaning to it, and what she express in that poem, is how i feel about my friend dying. so over all it was a great poem.
