One of my friends Marie died yesterday in a car accident and I decided to write a poem. The innocence of an angel fallen to earth, The person who we all knew and loved The quiet and calm she was, Taken away from us in an untimely manner, Now even the iron man cries, Now I must wipe the tears from my eyes. How fate spites us so, Taking away the best of peoples, The ones who deserve more than they got, Dousing out the flame of life before it could grow, Taking what was pure and good. How do we go on from here, How do we heal these wounds on our spirit, When a star has fallen and we are left to weep, A pain that knows no bounds, Let us mourn for her and keep her in our dreams.
