All We Must Remember is Life

Description:
After the death of my friends grandmother I was forced to reminisce the passing of my grandfather and was inspired to write this poem.
All We Must Remember is Life
All we must remember is life The way we talked together All those beautiful long nights And yet we think, things could be better If our hearts live on, in spite Of all the pain and sorrows we feel in life All we must remember is life Of how we talked about the past And though I know I miss you now, It's your memory that lasts And how you laughed, how you laughed Still echoes through my mind I know the things you taught me I'll never leave behind All we must remember is life Though life seems to be no more With shaking hands and watered eyes I know God will open the door To his ever-loving arms And my friends love Will keep me from harm |

That line liked...seriously picked me up from where I've been down in the dumps for the past month....(erm, or the majority of my life.) Regardless, thank you for this piece. | BCute<3 PS: I might have a few more comments in my weary brain yet. | Posted on 2006-08-17 00:00:00 | by BCute | [ Reply to This ] | I don't why sometimes poems that are featured or posted don't get the reads but I appreciate the sentiment and it is important to remember life and to also remember that truly life/soul are eternal. | My condolonces on your loss but keeping him alive in verse and mind is keeping him alive in heart and life  love,peace,joy&smiles to share tif  | Posted on 2006-07-10 00:00:00 | by Epiphany | [ Reply to This ] | You could be a poet, a lyricist or even write hallmark type cards. I feel you would be capable of all of these things and you should never limit what you do with your gift or how you use. All people are touched in different ways, so it is always good to have many colors and shades in your palette. | | Posted on 2006-07-21 00:00:00 | by Martin S. Allen | [ Reply to This ] | "Hey James, 1st off there are two spelling errors in your description of the poem which when you look I know you will find them immediately.---Second off, I think this is a great piece of work, in fact lyrics that are crying out for a melody. I notice that the picture of you bears an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Johny Cash (one of my favorite people). Has anyone ever mentioned that?---Anyway good one dude--Keep it up---Mugs--- | | Posted on 2006-07-22 00:00:00 | by mugsy | [ Reply to This ] | |
