Poem Commentary

this is a true story and my true feelings.

My friend

A ghost from the past
still haunts my present.
Reminding me time passes
so fast.

I remember that aweful day,
the day we went swimming.
paid a price i was not
willing to pay.

You were taken from me
without a goodbye,
I lay on my pillow unable
to cry.

You were loved by everyone,
it made us all sad.
you gave us your love,
even when u were bad.

You were my very best friend.
In your short life you had
no sin.

My brother only fourteen,
was taken from me.
Yet given to a king.

He was a rose ready to bloom.
God took him to heaven,
gave him a room.

I truly do miss you,
with all my heart.
My brother Josiah,
moms very best part.

The world is at a loss without you.
don't know what to do.
just feel so blue.

We were kindred spirits,
till the end.
I love you and miss you.
My brother, my friend.

A very nice poem, also very sad that someone would die so young. It remind us of those that are so dear to us and that sometimes wwe do not realize how important they are to us.

I love and hate this poem. Let me explain, I love it because of how beautifully written and the emotion you put forth and I hate it because I lost my best friend at a swimming hole and it reminds me of that time. I rush of sadness just brings it all home for me. For this reason I have to say this was an outstanding poem, please keep writing it is a true art form coming from you. Thanks and another 10 from me.

This poem is special and sacred. I only wish to pay my respects to your heartfelt love for a dear brother. Thank you for sharing this moment.

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
