our lives m ust go on

a poem of remembrance of a friend that died recently

Our lives must go on

We sit and cry
How could she die?
She left us here
Not to shed a tear
Friends come and then go
That is what these emotions show.
Hold your friends close
For when they go
No one knows.
Our lives must go on.

Family is dear
But don’t shed a tear
You will see them again
When Jesus comes again
Cherish their memories
Like when you picked those wild berries
They are missing you to
Just do what you used to do
Our lives must go on.

One day it you will go to
They will cry for you
They will say a prayer
Wishing you were still there
But they will remember better days
Like when ya’ll swam in the sun’s rays
They will remember you
And the crazy things you used to do
Their lives will go on

So look past the pain
Because there is no gain
Wipe the tears away
For today is a better day
The tears still will be there
Remember they are always there
Watching you as you play
Celebrating the new day
Our lives must go on
