Melancholy Memory

Hundreds of eyes saw
                                 the sacrifice you'd made
                                    Back from the eon days, 
                                          the anguish

                                    You let them stamp you
                                 by words and harmful deeds
                                    They mocked you totally 
                                           by fullest

                                       I recalled the last, 
                                  the last word that you said
                                     "Mom is here loving you" 
                                          with a smile

                                       Opening your fist
                                     It made us in trouble
                                    We all hugged you tightly
                                           with deep cry!

                                     Nothing more to say
                                 but giving thanks for you
                                  The days that you were here
                                         God blessed you!


                          
                                        5-6-6-3 SYLLABLES

Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/24/2013 7:21:00 AM I like the pattern and was moved by the sadness as well as the underlying celebration of life and the appreciation for the time that was granted.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/24/2013 7:23:00 AM I am not fully sure who the person is who died. When I first read it I thought it was your dad but on re reading it could also be a sibling.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/11/2013 1:10:00 AM It's mostly good, sweetie. Looking at what you wrote asking us for help. One suggestion I'd give you is when you say "keep me cry" it doesn't work because we say "keep me crying" So to fix that, maybe you could say "I'm crying" what do you think?
