this little poem means alot to me! it makes me tear up when i read it! plz tell me your feelings on it?
Why do you have to go?,was what she said on that cold september day. it wasn't me, my parents took a job somewhere far away!
we were 13, thinking our lives wouldn't revolve without each other, hand in hand. through the window, as we drove away, i watched
and i cried as her tears fell like rain. and she said,
"i won't let go! i'll be right there when you come home.by your side,i will stay until the day i die!"
13 years had passed, a single parent far from his past.his heart is heavy. cause he misses his teenage love immensly.with time off work,
he gets his little girl and they go, to that little town,where he fell in love, to find the one he's been thinking of.she was working
in a country type cafe'.she couldn't believe her eyes,they were face to face!13 years have come and gone!when their eyes met,
the love was still just as strong!she sat in the corner , holding a picture tight.she said,"god took her from me! one year ago tonight!"
"the cancer spread. it was too much to control!". "she held on as long as she could, till she just let go!'"she was a fighter ,
in every sense of the word!""she was only 3", a little voice she heard.his daughter said"don't you worry ! she's happy and she's free!
i'll bet you she is flying under an angels wing!"the little girl put her hand in hers,handed her a teddy, and said"when my mommy died,
this teddy,it was hers! both him and her sat there , looking so confused!the little girl said,"when i miss my mommy, i hold my teddy too!"
see, her mother passed away when she as only 2 now shes 4, he's not sure,exactly what to do!the little girl said"don't worry daddy!
i'm a big girl now! you are my one and only! daddy, you make me proud!"the woman looked into his eyes and he into hers!through their
pains andd miseries,their hearts had re-emerged!there he was , now 86 years old!the girl, his teenaged love, he married-and together they grew old!
they had 2 more children,and settled not so far away.they had a great life,until yesterday! he pulled the shades up, but his wife did not wake up!
he held her gently , as he started to break up!now the family strains, to deal with the loss!6 pictures and a ragged teddy , was that she did want.
a picture of him sara , brad, and june!and a picture of the child that god took , named sue. then, there is one of them ,the day before he moved.
they were so in love, 76 years , and that love held so true! as they laid her in the ground, the children, they began to weep.he told them,
"it'll be alright, just you wait and see!cause now she's with sue,and flying under her wings!"
but, the next day they found him , he had died in his sleep. it was more than they could bare, 2 parents in eternal sleep.the doctors didn't know?
they said, he was solid in every part! "THAT'S A LIE!"sara said!"he died of a broken heart!"
