Resolved Question: Books, poems or songs about losing your father?

My father passed away on Friday, July 9th from terminal cancer. He had been ill for about 6 months, with his kidney failure and we found out about a month ago that he had cancer. A week ago Friday, we found out that the cancer was all over his body and not curable. Friday he passed away. I spent a lot of time with my dad, visiting 6 out of 7 days a week and during the last week I spent every day and night there except for 12 hours of which I was home for laundry and rest. My father and I grew very close in the last few months, and now I am lost without him. I am trying my best to cope with the loss of my father and arranging the funeral as well as staying strong for my younger sisters. I'm 21 and having trouble with the thoughts of events in my life that my father will not be present for, like walking me down the aisle and my wedding, and future children I may have. Can you recommend any books, poems or songs that relate to dealing with grief and the loss of a loved one/father? I usually take comfort in literature(a trait I picked up from my dad) and am hoping that this might help. Thank you more

Resolved Question: Was this really disrespectful!?

I am pretty sure that it was but I wanted to hear your opinions on it as well. 3 years ago my 1st grandmother passed away from 3 types of cancer. We were really really close, and she and my mum were best friends, so it really hurt when she passed away. At the funeral, my 2nd grandmother (whom I do not get on with that much) wore a long white and bright pink frilly flowery dress with a bright pink hat, shoes and handbag. (yuuuuuuck) All throughout the service she was all smiles and was joking around with other people. She didn't even try to look sad. Me, mum and my sister were all crying really heavily throughout the service, especially when the person conducting the service read out a poem i wrote about my grandma after she died. They had asked if I wanted to go up and read it but I was crying too much so I didn't My 2nd grandma didnt even bother to come up to me and ask if i was okay (which obviously i wasnt!) She basically ignored us the whole service. Everyone else was nice to me, mum and my sister and heaps of others were respectful and lots of people were also crying. Was my 2nd Grandma being an exceptional bitch?! Sorry for the language, I just cant tolerate her rudeness more

Resolved Question: what poem is the best outta these three? Why is it? How can i fix it?

Who Am I As you sit all alone Everyone’s gone You start cleaning You pick up a dusty ‘ol book You start flipping through it Its your Friend book All the memories come back Thinking all the good times Back when everyone cared The time you met you friend in pre school Brings a smile to you face Picture of the first time you did the fire pole Here you are at Christmas You got the dolly you always wanted Your friend got one to and brought it over Your first sleep over You stayed up all night Watching Princess Bride As the years go by In this tiny book Filled with huge memories In each picture your smile fades You aren’t as happy You become selfish Lying to all your friends Never leaving home Staring at a blank computer screen You go back a few pages that you missed Your first dace When you and your best friend Waltzed all night with your crushes The time you skated on the creek Going shopping Just you and your friend By now you can’t see any more And toss the book As it slams against a table A note falls out On the letter in your best friends writing ‘To You’ You start reading ‘We used to be the best of friends, One time I called you sister. But now I just can’t. I don’t know what happened, You just turned different. Mean, cold Until you can come back. . . I’m no longer your friend. This really pains me Thinking of all the mud pies we’ve made. All the times we’ve shared tears. Now you aren’t normal I have no one. Please come back to the person that‘s my best friend. Right now I wonder who you are At night When I sit alone, At the table Where we made Our Best Friend books. Now I sit Crying at all the memories. I worry about you. I really want you back. Signed, a lost friend’ Now slowly put the old paper down With teary eyes you think Who am I? Lost Friend As she walks down the street She thinks quietly All the good times they had They grew up together Pretty much sisters They both got the dollies They asked for in 1st grade For Christmas 6th grade they got manicures And pedicures 9th their first dance She turns down the road Stiffly walking Like each step felt like A knife cutting her heart She makes one last turn Down a cold dark path Hasn’t been used in years It seems Next thing she knows She’s slumped over Crying her eyes out She lifts her head to see a name ‘Jane H.’ Is engraved on a big stone As she puts the flowers down She thinks why they Went their separate ways If only she stayed Jane would still be alive She walks back up the path Kicking the dirt Thinking ‘Why did I let her go out that late?’ Now she has lost her best friend, Her own sister Lays still under that stone. The Last Fight He looks down at his watch It says 12:05 He groans He’s got nowhere to go They have fought in the past Never as bad as this time She kicked him out All alone on the streets At the empty bus stop He looks around No bus to be found He thinking of what she yelled ‘Get out! Leave me alone! I never want to see you again!’ And starts to cry He goes to cross the road When a car sped by And hit him Only two blocks from his house His wife hears She gets on her coat Grabs the baby girl And heads out When she sees him She starts screaming She calls 911 But its too late As she waits outside Of the ambulance The baby starts to cry As she starts to pace around The paramedic comes out He has blood all over And a frustrated face He walks over and says ‘I’m so sorry, daddy’s gone.’ She about drops the baby 1 week later At the funeral Family and friends all come They stand crying When they all leave There’s only one left She stands with her baby saying ‘Happy birthday Angelina, daddy’s dead’ She pauses Then whispers ‘And its all my fault. If only we didn’t fight.’I know its really long. I thank you who give your time to read and write a good answer to me poems. I'm only 13 these are my first poems ever i want to see how good i am. What can i do to make them even better add/take away? more

Voting Question: Girls: Should I give her plenty of space and be patient, or have I messed things up too badly?? (pretty long)?

we're both 17. we dated for a few months. i fell in love with her the moment i first kissed her forehead and held her in my arms, and told her everything will be alright when she fell ill. she is very hardworking. very very into her schoolwork, not like most girls, and under lots of pressure. our relationship was short, but we had lots of fun together. i never told her that i loved her. i could feel that part of her loved me too. i showed her kindness, i bought little surprises for her, i wrote her a poem, flattered her at every chance... we never had sex though. we did stuff, sure... but i didn't want a relationship based only on that. she was thankful that i didn't. we broke up after a series of "mock" trial exams, which i did fairly well in while she got very stressed and did badly. she said to me she couldnt hold a relationship in our school, but that she really wanted us to stay friends. she later wrote to me, saying "i'll miss you. i always will". a week after we broke up it was my birthday. she sent a card, wishing me happy birthday and saying "with love, forever and always". over the holidays, when we had to prepare for big exams, she was very stressed with work. foolishly, i finally told (by text... stupid, i know) her i was hopelessly, madly in love with her. i asked her if part of her felt the same. she replied "ezio, i dont have time for this, im so busy revising! .of course part of me feels the same but i would rather just focus on my schoolwork". i kept texting her for a few days, which was also v stupid cuz she never replied, because she was under loads of stress (the easter holidays are basically the revision holidays for kids here in england... very stressful and frustrating)... i sent another text a few weeks later when the holidays were over, and she said "im really struggling here with work. i may see you after my stress with the exams. please stop texting me Ezio, i really cant handle it any more. please can we just be friends for now". lately, things took a turn for the worst... I received some bad news on monday, and I let my heart get to my head. I texted her once more, telling her that I couldn't keep living like this, and (really, really stupidly...) I said "in a few days my mother will be planning a funeral... I'm sorry Angela". I didnt tell her exactly what happened, and I don't want to say it on here... but i came very close to ending my own life; i have been enduring pain these last few years (she knows this), and was contemplating giving up.. she got very upset when she read the text, and that's when i realised what i had done and thought i had screwed up any chance of being with her again. Things brightened up. I went to a psychiatrist, a very understanding and intelligent man. I told him what I had done, and how scared i was of losing her because of a reckless decision. he told me not to worry, and that provided i leave her alone for several weeks now until the exams are over, there is a good chance she will come back... i know most of you will feel angry, sad or shocked reading this, and tell me to move on. that is the one thing i can't do. sure, i could go out and find someone else... but ive tried that already. she doesn't get much attention from guys, especially not romantic attention... she once said she couldn't understand why "you're really hot, but you didn't choose some pretty blonde girl" instead. but to me, she is the most beautiful girl in the entire world. and i love her. i'd say it a million different ways if i have to, write every love song or climb to every star in the sky for her... i wrote a poem for her a few weeks after we split, (I don't know exactly, but I think she liked it... I'll post it later if you want) I have asked what to do many times before, and I think it's best that I send a final text telling her that I am here for her and always will be, that I will wait for her, forever and always, because I love her more than anything... And after that, I'll leave her alone, giving her all the space she needs and wait until the exams are over. (I know it seems like I'm obsessed, but I'm not... I have experienced "love" before in my life, but words can't describe how much I care for this girl) sorry for repost. dont feel that you have to answer again if you already have. more

we're both 17. we dated for a few months. i fell in love with her the moment i first kissed her forehead and held her in my arms, and told her everything will be alright when she fell ill. she is very hardworking. very very into her schoolwork, under lots of pressure. our relationship was short, but we had lots of fun together. i never told her that i loved her. i could feel that part of her loved me too. i showed her kindness, i bought little surprises for her, i wrote her a poem, flattered her at every chance... when we broke up, she said to me she couldnt hold a relationship in our school, but that she really wanted us to stay friends. she later wrote to me, saying "i'll miss you. i always will". a week after we broke up it was my birthday. she sent a card, saying "with love, forever and always". over the holidays, when we had to prepare for big exams, she was very stressed with work. foolishly, i finally told (by text... stupid, i know) her i was hopelessly, madly in love with her. i asked her if part of her felt the same. she replied "ezio, i dont have time for this, im so busy revising! .of course part of me feels the same but i would rather just focus on my schoolwork". i kept texting her for a few days, which was also v stupid cuz she never replied, because she was under loads of stress (the easter holidays are basically the revision holidays for kids here in england... very stressful and frustrating)... i sent another text a few weeks later when the holidays were over, and she said "im really struggling here with work. i may see you after my stress with the exams. please stop texting me, i really cant handle it any more. please can we just be friends for now" lately, things took a turn for the worst... I received some bad news on monday, and I let my heart get to my head. I texted her once more, telling her that I couldn't keep living like this, and (really, really stupidly...) I said "in a few days my mother will be planning a funeral". I didnt tell her exactly what happened, and I don't want to say it on here... but i came very close to ending my own life; i have been enduring pain these last few years (she knows this), and was contemplating giving up.. she got very upset when she read the text, and that's when i realised what i had done and thought i had screwed up any chance of being with her again. Things brightened up. I went to a psychiatrist, a very understanding and intelligent man. I told him what I had done, and how scared i was of losing her because of a reckless decision. he told me not to worry, and that provided i leave her alone for several weeks now until the exams are over, there is a good chance she will come back... i know most of you will feel sad or shocked reading this, and tell me to move on. that is the one thing i can't do. sure, i could go out and find someone else... but ive tried that already. i love her. i'd say it a million different ways if i have to, write every love song or climb to every star in the sky for her... Im sorry if it sounds like im rambling... I have asked what to do many times before, and I think it's best that I send a final text telling her that I am always here for her, and always will be, that I will wait for her for as long as it takes because I love her more than anything...

Voting Question: what do you thnk of this poem for my grans funeral? have you heard it before?

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face. He wrapped his arms around you and lifted you to rest. His Garden must be beautiful, because he always takes the best. He saw your path was difficult, and he closed your tired eyes, He whispered to you 'Peace be Thine' and gave you wings to fly. You've left us precious memories, and your love will be our guide, You live on through your family, you're always by our side. It broke our hearts to lose you Gran, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you too, the day god called you home more

Resolved Question: Is it normal to feel like this when i'm angry?

I use to bottle up my anger for the past 7 years. Now I feel like this emotion has ripped through my body and it's taking over me. I use to be happy and joyful. I gave a lot of good advice to people (Literally) and i'd always have this sense of humour. One day I had a accident and now I have this 2 large scars going up my arm. My father even scarred me kind of like what Ozai did to Zuko... (Most of you probably don't know who they are. They're in a animated series anyway) I went depressed for a little while and even felt suicidal. Then I thought to myself, "People think i'm worthless, pathetic, weak, dumb.. Well, why must I be treated this way?! Who gives people the right to pick on me, to make me feel bad about myself, NO ONE!" Thats when I got really angry and just excercised everyday. I don't understand, I do this and alot of other stuff to cool off my anger but it doesn't work. I forever have headaches and feel like fighting someone all the time. I feel like i've changed... Everything I belived in is now the opposite... Instead of going against violence I want to start it with someone else x_x Regardless of my anger it is still no reason to be rude. Although, I'm personally starting not to care anyway. To stop feeling pain I just stopped caring for people. Next time any of my best friend dies. I won't go to his funeral I won't cry. I'm stronger then that... This way I don't get hurt and I stay strong. Here is a poem I wrote: "People use to call me weak, pathetic a girl. I use to give up because of these insults. I use to sit there letting the insults get to me, making me depressed. Not even standing up for myself. Now I see I must try to proove them all wrong! I excercise non stop and train so hard to become strong. I can feel the anger growing inside me. I can feel the happiness inside me disapearing. All I want to do is fight. I train myself til all the muscles in my body are sore, until I am exhausted, until I can't do anymore for that day. Even if I lose a fight I will still try. I won't give up that easily. The worse part is, I don't feel like myself anymore... I feel so diffrent. But so strong... I feel like i've sold whats left of my identity. I'm doing the opposite of everything I belive in. I guess it's true. Bottle up your anger for too long and, you'll snap. I'm so scared of losing the people I care about that i'm starting not to care anymore. I feel nothing for anyone. I destroyed my family photos. Even passed away friends and family photos. I barely even watch television anymore or use my phone anymore, let alone carry it with me. I barely even use my laptop now. Most people live their lives in luck. But I don't want luck, I don't need it. I've always had to struggle and fight. Thats made me strong, it's made me who I am." more

Voting Question: So I wrote 2 poems...?

I had to write 2 poems for a project, I'm only 12, are they ok? Letter to my Dear Sister. Remember when, We were best friends? And would share every thought? Remember when, We danced and sang? And laughed and skipped arm in arm? Remember when, I would read to you by your bed? Like you would always be there? Remember when, You colored me that picture? And even signed your name? Remember when, We cried and held each other? When we found out about the bad thing? Remember when, I wrote you that letter? That you would never read? Remember when, I kissed you good-bye As they lowered you into the ground? Remember, my dear sister, That I miss you, And that I framed your picture Remember, dear sister, That I want you back. And I think about you every day. Remember dear sister, That I love you. Good-Bye. Where did you go? It seems like just yesterday, That you were lying next to me, Telling me you loved me, And that we’d always be together. But now you’re gone. Where did you go? I don’t even think that you know. They said you were bringing me flowers, They said you were bringing a ring, They said you didn’t see it coming, That it caught you by surprise. I cried. I cried for a long time. Did you know that? That I cried for a long time? I loved you. I still love you. You lied to me. But I still love you. You said we’d be together forever, Where are you now? I miss you. I wrote you a poem, For our anniversary. I read it to you at the funeral. It wasn’t very long. I hope you liked it Did you like it? I hope you liked it. I miss you. I miss you a lot. I hope you miss me. I hope you miss me a lot. Do you miss me a lot? I want you to miss me. I want you back I wish that you were back with me. I love you. I want you to know that. Do you know that?

Resolved Question: A "formal attire required" poem for wedding invitations?

I already made up my invitations and didn't put on the "formal attire" part. Most of my family (and my fiance) wouldn't think to show up to such an occasion in any other attire, so I didn't think about it. Recently my fiance's great-uncle died and at the funeral a bunch of people showed up in jeans, and other clothing I would never show up to a funeral in, and it got me worried. I spoke to my fiance about it (not at the funeral) and he mentioned he wasn't even sure some members of the family own suits. The place we're having the wedding is very formal, and I'm not even sure they'll let people in under-dressed (and unfortunately I'm sure some of my family members will judge his family - not that this really matters but...) He brought it up with his mother and sister and we all came to the decision it would be best to add a card saying formal attire required or requested or something like that. I thought it would be cute if I make a little poem out of it since it needs to be on it's own card & it'll look really stupid if it's just 3 words alone... thanks!i guess it would technically be semi-formal since we're expecting suits not tuxes, definately not black tiemoney for formal clothing isn't the problem, i'm not making anyone go broke for this thing :) more

Resolved Question: opinions, changes on this poem?

Oh won’t you stop the tears? Smile, it can’t be that bad Look at me darling, don’t be sad Some things always go wrong Stop crying and turn the lights back on All of us make mistakes you don’t have to feel that badly. “But I don‘t feel remorse, I’m fine with it… sadly…” Well we can work on that, just put your heart with God “The trouble with that, my dear, is that is your faith, I‘m thinking abroad” Don’t be silly of course you think as I do Gosh what has gotten into you? It’s almost as if I don’t know you anymore How to be in good faith and to trust in Him are the focus of my motherly lore. “This isn‘t all we are going to address is it dear mother? It is a lie if you say all you are is a lover. You are a fighter And you only follow the writer. I broke away and it kills you Think about it, it’s true.” Don’t be ridiculous daughter, I only want the best Forget about the rest. It is going to take a little work to fix you But don’t worry, it can be done So sit back, hun It will only hurt as long as you resist I will do it though, after all, I am the reason you exist. “Then, here. See? The root of it all All your teachings were in vain Soon my breathing will be bane But I’m so happy that you came… To my funeral My demise My fall My fail My break My dawn My shiver To my birth. What you don’t understand dear mother is that those feelings, those failures, are my victories. When my stomach does knots and grabs my skin and pulls it in, it’s not a feeling of need But a feeling of success. When it starts to sting and my flesh splits, it’s not pain It’s release. When I feel it in my throat and I jolt forward, it’s not sickness But an eager greeting.

Resolved Question: My Mom's best friend died a few days ago.......?

My mom's best friend died a few days ago. They were very close friends that spoke on the phone every day (even though she lived next door) :) They were friends for 25+ years. I found a recent picture of them together and thought I might put together something for my MOm for Christmas. I was thinking about drying some of the flowers from the funeral, maybe a poem or something along with the picture. Does anyone have any ideas? I know this Christmas is going to be hard for her. I'd really appreciate any suggestion! Thanx- more

Resolved Question: If you chose to mourn the decline of your country's traditions & values & heritage,?

how best would you go about it ? A procession of gondolas accompanied a coffin along Venice's Grand Canal on Saturday in a mock funeral to protest against the steep decline in the city's population. Pall bearers in black capes accompanied the flower-draped coffin symbolising the death of the "Queen of Adriatic" at the hands of rampant tourism, rising waters and housing costs, a low birth rate and a lack of services. It was brought ashore at the city hall where a message of condolence and a poem in the Venetian dialect were read out. As tourists and onlookers took photos and popped wine corks, a flag bearing the image of a phoenix emerged from the coffin to symbolise the rebirth of the threatened city. The protest, organised by local website Venessia.com, was inspired by a report last month that the city's population had fallen below 60,000, the minimum for an Italian city. Venice's population has halved since 1966 as residents have left to seek work elsewhere and housing costs have soared as homes have been converted into hotels or guest houses. http://in.news.yahoo.com/137/20091115/778/tod-mock-funeral-mourns-venice-s-shrinki.html more

Resolved Question: Can anyone summarize this romatic peom , "on this day i complete my thirty-sixth year"?

hello, i have to write an essay for english about this poem " on this day.." But i really dont understand a lot about the poem, if anyone can help me out , even with just a few lines, i would really apritiate it. im in grade 11, just so you know.But thank you to anyone who can help out in making sence of this ! , its due wednsday ! Poem: 'IS time the heart should be unmoved, Since others it hath ceased to move: Yet, though I cannot be beloved, Still let me love! My days are in the yellow leaf; The flowers and fruits of love are gone; The worm, the canker, and the grief Are mine alone! The fire that on my bosom preys Is lone as some volcanic isle; No torch is kindled at its blaze-- A funeral pile. The hope, the fear, the jealous care, The exalted portion of the pain And power of love, I cannot share, But wear the chain. But 'tis not thus--and 'tis not here-- Such thoughts should shake my soul nor now, Where glory decks the hero's bier, Or binds his brow. The sword, the banner, and the field, Glory and Greece, around me see! The Spartan, borne upon his shield, Was not more free. Awake! (not Greece--she is awake!) Awake, my spirit! Think through whom Thy life-blood tracks its parent lake, And then strike home! Tread those reviving passions down, Unworthy manhood!--unto thee Indifferent should the smile or frown Of beauty be. If thou regrett'st thy youth, why live? The land of honourable death Is here:--up to the field, and give Away thy breath! Seek out--less often sought than found-- A soldier's grave, for thee the best; Then look around, and choose thy ground, And take thy rest. more

Voting Question: How can i help my 15 yr old niece who's close friend was murdered?

My 15 year old nieces best friends sister was brutally murdered about 6 weeks ago and it has severely affected my niece (she is the oldest of 4 girls and looked up to her friends sister as an older sister type figure), she was already suffering depression and anxiety disorder before this happened and seems to have fallen into a hole she doesnt want to come out of, it almost seems she is happy wallowing in her sadness. I have tried taking her for a weekend to get her away from it all ( her mother is a psych nurse and is trying to help the family rebuild) by taking her to the movies, spoiling her rotten and talking to her about it. While she is with me she is happy and talkative (a normal 15 yr old) as soon as she goes home she retreats into herself and plays the funeral pics and songs over and over and over......i too had a friend die (in a car accident) at a similar age and found that keeping a photo album of pics, newspaper clippings, poems and letters that i wrote to her (and only her) helped me to deal with it....i have told her mother this whose reply was "a CAR accident is a HELL of a lot different that MURDER" and maybe she is right but i would do anything to ensure my niece has the right outlet to express her feelings......any help would be appreciated....sry it was so long.... :) more

I loved your stories of war & strife I knew you had`nt had an easy life but to me you were so wise. on car jorneys you made me laugh you taught me our song,sam the lavatory man down dark winding roads you often drove telling me ghost stories as you drove. now youre gone I often mutter there will truly never be another you`ve left me with an empty space no one on earth could ever take your place I know when my time is up I`ll see your smiling face I hope my image in my mind of you never fades until we meet again. there are too many words to write,so little time so I`ll end this note with one final line I AM PROUD TO CALL YOU GRANDAD XX I am no poet by the way. the words just came to me one morning and I jotted them down. more

Voting Question: What do you think of this poem?

I wrote this one for one of my best friend's funeral (she had bad kidneys), and i read it at the end, before the final viewing. She was like sister to me, and i still miss her every day Each word was a punch to the stomach, They said you were sick. They said you were in a better place, but that doesn’t bring you back. That doesn’t fill the hole in my heart that now something it lacks. That doesn’t fill the empty seat at my graduation, That doesn’t stop the sadness that has yet to come. They said you passed in peace, But that doesn’t mean our pain will cease. It doesn’t make you suddenly appear, No matter how much I wish you were here. It doesn’t make it easier to get up in the morning, Or deal with the wave of pain that comes without warning. It won’t make it easier to look out the window on a sunny day Nor will it make sweeter the call of a blue jay. Each day is supposed to get easier. But it gets harder instead. So many thoughts about you, still swimming in my head. So many memories lost in time, that I won’t get back, Not thinking a profusion of time is what we lacked. I long for your smile, and warm, gentle touch, I miss you so very much. It feels like a dagger in my chest When, I see the place where you now permanently rest And it’s a punch to the gut, When I see those neon pink chucks. Through all the pain, and all the tears, I want you to know how much I love you, and wish you were here.thanx addidasa..., i'll definatly work on that in the next poem i write =)i like your poem yerl (>*-*>) you earned a hug =) more

Resolved Question: WHat do you think of my poem?

I was walking in savannah past a church, decayed and dim When slowly through the window came a plaintive funeral hymn And my sympathy awakened and a wonder quickly grew til I found myself envired in a little colored pew. Out front a colored couple sat in sorrow, nearly wild On the altar was a casket and in the casket was a child I could picture him while livin, curly hair, protuding lips Id seen perhaps a thousand in my hurried southern trips. Rose a sad, old colored preacher from his little wooden desk With a manner sorta awkward, and countenance grotesque The simplicity and shrewdness in his eithopian face Showed the wisdom and ignorance of a crushed, undying race. And he said, now dont be weepin for this pretty bit of clay For the little boy who lived there has done gone and run away He was doin very finely and he appreciates your love But his shore nuff father wanted him in the big house up above. The lord didnt give you that baby, by no hundred thousand miles He just thought you need some sunshine, and he lent it for awhile And he let you keep and love it til your hearts were bigger grown And these silver tears youre sheddin now is just interest on the loan. Just think, my poor dear mourners, creepin long on sorrows lifes way What a blessed picnic this here baby got today Your good fathers and good mothers crowd the little fellow round In the angels tender garden of the big plantation ground. And his eyes they brightly sparkle at the pretty things he viewed But a tear came, and he whispered, i want my parents , too But then the angels chief musicians teach that little boy a song Says if only they be faithful theyll soon be comin long. So, my poor detached mourners, let your hearts with jesus rest And dont go to criticizin the one what knows the best He has give us many comforts, hes got the right to take away To the lord be praised in glory, forever, let us pray. more

Resolved Question: the wailing for the fallen...a poem I should think?

leaves converse complain in hushed angry tones and sky has drawn and still gathers a foreboding expression a threat of tears looms heavy on the earths cheek even birds barely sing on this perfect day for a funeral a crowd has had gathered from far and near alike wearing faces of bitter loss or of solemn facade today a hero will go the way of traditions ceremony the affair of grief for those that live on a holy man made his way through the procession as the military fanfare reaches close and as you strode a sob erupted both from women and from solderers as he reached the pew he retrieves a eulogy unfolds as his throat is cleared and even before his voice found announcement dearly beloved we are his eyes lock with a stern faced woman fer gaze a thousand yards the emotion takes him then as tears stream down his face he lights uses the paper with dried ink to light the fire of a hero’s way of life but this day a mighty sword had bested pens as wails went up to the heavens the plume could be seen for miles a pyre for a funeral and flames of passion for a lifeoops that should read as he strode =Poh and that should read the pulpit not the pew seesh I should really spend more time on the editing thing sighher gaze her gaze a thousand yards sheesh it is like when I try to talk like this =P more

Façade of Perfection; You know that perfect girl? Perfect family, right? Never cheated, fought, screamed, lied, or snuck out at night? Envy her? Hate her guts?

Maybe to hide the cuts and she thinks she's fat Now you wish you had more time You shoulda been there But she was so dorky all you did was stare Now tears roll as you stand there the funeral... this is because of you Your damn FAULT You let your hatred for yourself stew This innocent girl took her life and you feel bad Everything is wrong you feel so sad You should have lent a hand The confusion... the world begins to swirl Everything is wrong and now... you become that girl Maybe someone will notice but probably not Everyone thinks you're perfect and won't give you a second thought. more
