| Amanda Gandy | A star in the sky reminds me of how bright you were
A flower in the garden reminds me how beautiful you were
A trolley in the trolley bay well reminds me of the way we rolled
An elephant reminds me that you can not forget anything
The ice coffee we use to drink any time of day
The sunshine in the morning makes me smile because I think of you
But you see all of those things can be taken away
The stars can be covered by clouds
A flower in a beautiful garden can die
A trolley may never roll the same way
An elephant may forget
Someone could drink all the ice coffee in the world
And the sun can be covered by a stormy day
But I have to keep you inside so no one else sees the pain
I miss you so
I miss you here
I wished that you never left
But I loved you then
And I miss you now
But I’ll always love you
But most of all I know I’ll see you again my friend!

| Angel Schmidt | To all who have commented.. I wrote this for a dear friend of mine. I read it at his funeral for his family. It is comforting to me that so many have gone on to use it. That is inspiration! Glad I was able to write it. It is very close to my heart and hope it will be helpful to family members. I had it printed and put on a plaque for the woman who lost her husband. It hangs in her living room.. Thanks again everyone | USA | 2/25/2009 11:30:07 PM |

| Joseph Natale | This is such an emotionally powerful and touching poem. It takes great strength for one to do such a thing but everything you were feeling seems to have been produced into this poem. Truly remarkable. My beloved grandfather past just one month ago and I like to think of him as watching over me as I pray each night. May God Bless you and yours!
