for a friend

[GPRacer]

this is for a friend that was shot in the head while hunting. his family said that they feel everyone had forgotten about him! so we at school decided to put together a small rememberence album.
most wrote on cards or just wrote a personal letter. as usual i'm good with poems. heres mine

To the Davidsons

This is to remind you
Your son was forgotten to very few.
Around this time last year
I head the horrible news through my own ear.
This is to tell you he isn’t forgotten
Our thoughts of him have not gone rotten.
We still always remember him
Though through tears we have to swim.
I didn’t know him all to well,
But when I had heard that he fell,
At first it didn’t seem too real.
Emotions one doesn’t normally feel.
A lot during life we have cards to deal through
Mostly which can’t be seen into.
I still remember the day
Seeing people deal in a complete different way
I have few memories of Tyler
Though I know he was great
Though I know he was awesome
The memories of you son will never be lost
We know you had the more powerful cost
Right now I have no doubt in my mind
About where Tyler spends his time
We must remember however
Sometime our day will come
Whether it be all or some
To revisit our beloved family/friend
I know for Tyler it isn’t the end
Maybe it was for his time on the sin stricken creation
Though now his time is a reanimation

*Tyler will always be remembered!!!*

This was very powerful and touching, great write.

i'm hoping it sent a positive message though his parents, as i did send it to them along with a small book of letters from many people from our school.

Thanks for the comment!

I haven't seen anything quite like this. Many people from different backgrounds getting together to write a poem. I mean I have seen a collaboration but, this was incredibly heartfelt and compassionate. Great Job!

a beautiful piece...i'm sure his parents much appreciated it...i've never come in contact with a death like that, so i don't know how that feels, but losing someone is quite tough....very heartfelt, well-written poem! great job!
