In Our Hearts

I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday. Did you hear about the Connecticut shooting? I can't believe someone had the nerve to kill poor, innocent children. I hope that guy got what he deserved. Because  of him, those kids won't get to get to have a chance at life. I can't imagine what those parents are feeling right now.

This poem I wrote a while back is about losing someone we love dearly. I hope this is a comfort to the people who lost loved ones in the shooting.

Death separates us
From people we love
Friends or families
They're up above

It takes away
A piece of our hearts
An illness or accident
It tears us apart

We grieve
And we cry
Until our eyes
Are dry

We feel an emptiness
A void that can't be filled
No matter what we do
No matter what we build

We miss them
With all our hearts
But we know
They'll never  part

Their memories 
We treasure
Never forgotten
Always a pleasure

Their knowledge
They impart
Forever they live
In our hearts
