Swimming In Grief

So many people I’ve known have died so I ask the good lord why You take them young you take them old and then up to heaven they would go But can my tears ever go dry as I swim in grief and forever cry I wonder if I will be remember when for my time shall come just like some of my friends Will I meet them by the charming church bells or will I toast with them deep in Hell One thing if for sure about the news we will all be listening to the songs of Glenn Hughes

Lol. I don't know this man, yet he is great in the afterlife. I just hope I can have a chocolate bar in heaven.

dear robert this is such a heartfelt poem, and flows with grief in such an effortless manner, as if youv written this in just five minutes how you sincerely feel: i think many of us wonder, whether we would ever be remembered when our time comes and when we leave. And that last line, shows your appreciation and devotion for glenn hughes! Which is a good thing I suppose. I don’t remember being such an intense fan of anyone before. Pleasure visiting you today! Thank you for placing me in your contest. Sending you light always
