Forever Young
by Renee 'nay' Kristen Kristen
Trapped in the glorious years
within the memory of belief, lost of all grief.
Take the reasons,
which once seemed so clear,
but never mind, you have nothing to fear.
For you my fried will be, forever young,
Forever in the heart of memories.

Lost in the glory of all time,
the wisdom was there within that smile,
You see you could have told us,
there within lies the mystery.

So shed a smile, and grin a tear,
For you my friend, will be,
Forever young, Forever young.
Forever in the heart of memory,
We see not through or misery.
Forever young, forever young.
There's a new angel tonight.

I just lost a good friend only 17 years old. I had a crush on him. He talked to me everyday and inspired me. We were going to school soon about to go play pool then his mom called the school and told us he's just been shot dead and murdered in his home trying to protect his family from the intruder. I couldnt believe it i was looking foward to that day with him and i just spoke to him over the phone at 7:45. He was pronounced dead at 8:30. Im so broken

Angela
This poem was great! I had three friends die in a car wreck September 8th, 2004. Colby (dated him), Robert, and Brandy (she was 4 months pregnant). This wreck really hit home with me and my friends cause we're all really close because we lost a close friend in 2001 due to a gun wound to the head. Tring to find some poems to put in the yearbook for them
Ana
i thought this was a good poem, in 2004 i lost alot of people in my life, and reading this poems makes it somewhat easier, to handle. I lost my girl Melissa on the 22nd of January in 2004 due to a wreckless driver. She was only 19 and she had her whole life ahead of her, but because of that driver, she is no longer with us, and she is truly an angel and will always be there.
Jennifer
Reading your poem broght a tremendous amount of relief to my heart. I recently watched the life of my best friend slip away form her after a fatal four wheeler accident. She was only 19. I miss her and this helps. She will always be forever young in my heart. I love you Angela!

Tijana
My uncle died 8 months ago of a heart attack. One of my best friends died 3 months ago (a drunk woman hit her with her car as she was walking home late from work). Now another girl that I knew (not my best friend or anything,. she was just a neighbor that I loved. she was really nice). got shot at work. WHAT IS GOING ON!?!. I just wanna say that this poem touched my heart. : (
