About the Poem
I wrote this poem after a kid in my school died of cancer. His death made me realize how delicate life is. I know that my generation tends to have the mentality that we are invincible but I see now that we aren't.

This poem is really touching because my grandma died several years back from cancer and she was my favorite relative. And I would give anything to have her back with me.

I just love this poem. Its that simple, but yet it reaches down to what you are really feeling. I write poems like this too and it such an inspiration to know that i'm not the only one that expresses my feelings on paper. Keep up the good work.

Goodbye |

God took you away. It doesn't seem fair, but in the back of my mind, you will always be there. You weren't a close friend, but our paths did cross, and your absence in this world, is to me a great loss. You were too young to die, and too innocent to feel that pain. Only heaven benefits, because you it has now gained. I may think of you a little less with each passing day, but your strength is something I won't forget, you have changed me in a way. I wish for you eternal peace; that's what you deserve my friend. I hope I lead my life well enough to meet up with you in the end. |

Our school also went through the death of a young girl who was only 16. She did in a car accident on the night of our homecomming. I didn't know her very well but when I saw her she always had a smile. I guess it showed me that you never know when you will take your last breathe.

I lost my son at the age of 19 to cancer, he was diagnosed at aged 15, he never got to go to highschool because he was so sick, I encourage everyone to become bone marrow donors and get on the unrelated bone marrow registry. Christopher had an urelated bone marrow transplant as a last ditch effort to save his life. It is so sweet of you to write a poem about another student that fought and lost the battle to this dreaded disease. keep writing.
Rebecca
This poem really touched me. It was very emotive and I could really empathise with it. My little brother died of cancer. The points that the poem makes, are for me, all true. Goodbye is a poem that speaks true about the affecton that you feel when someone is gone. It was a brilliant poem and well-deserving of any praise.
Scott
