Your poem was very sad and I have a deep understanding of your words in my own heart. For what it's worth, based on what I have read of you, many people would be very sad at your passing , Myself included. So carry on, and learn to see in yourself what most everyone else sees.

Good descriptive rhyming in these couplets. Collectively, they convey vivid images in any reader's mind.
