Goodbye by Penny

God took you away.
It doesn't seem fair,
but in the back of my mind,
you will always be there.

You weren't a close friend,
but our paths did cross,
and your absence in this world,
is to me a great loss.

You were too young to die, and
too innocent to feel that pain.
Only heaven benefits,
because you it has now gained.

I may think of you a little less
with each passing day,
but your strength is something I won't forget,
you have changed me in a way.

I wish for you eternal peace;
that's what you deserve my friend.
I hope I lead my life well enough
to meet up with you in the end.

This poem is very sad and it touches me because one of my dad's friends died recently. It was a tragic loss because she had a lot of friends and family that cared about her very much. In the poem it says, "you were too young to die." this is true for my family friend also because she was not old and it was a very sudden death. It ryhmes therefore, I think it is a catchy poem.
