About This Poem

Where

Lost out in space
Perhaps God has hurled
A far fairer place
A less evil world

Where one circumstance
I'm allowed to defy
Where granted one chance
To say one goodbye

Where I rip through that wreck
To the seat where you bled
Where I cradle your neck
And hold up your head

Where I brush off the mud
And soothe your last fear
Where I clean off the blood
And wipe your last tear

Where I lay you to rest
And stroke shattered bones
Where you die on my chest
Instead of alone

    Tim this one moved many of us to tears I'm sure....I hope you know no one dies alone or lives alone for that matter...I'm sure angels were holding your friend. Blessings..

    Wow......Tim, what can I say?........John had asked for raw emotion in his contest......and by the third stanza, when the raw pain of this poem began to rip my heart.......I wanted to pray that this was not based on a true loss of your own experience. An amazing poem, my friend.
