Shocking News

What  a shock I got 
When I read my news
A message for me
Brought tears streaming down
I could not control
The tears flowing down

Unable to speak 
I let the tears flow
When all my tears stopped
I sat quietly
It felt like hours

Searching for a poem
A poet wrote
I searched several times
Without finding it
I tried the next day

The next day I searched 
For the poem written
I struggled to find it
I did not give up
This time I found it

I left a comment 
On a special poem
Pleased to succeeded
To add my comment
On a loss of a friend 

She  will be missed.
