    Wow this poem carries such an in depth message and journey between life and death.
    I found the technique of having a similar repetition notion in the first and last stanza was a great element in luring the reader in at the start as well as illustrating with your words the direction this poem will take us. Then ending with a reflection of the beginning and ending it in a powerful way, it made me want to read more. It really is sad that their life was cut short but death takes anyone at anytime. I thought this poem was very well written even for such a touchy life experience.

    5.5 from me

      Thank you, that means alot Andrew if I remember correctly. Fortunatly it was a home hitting life experiance, it was something that I just happened to wittness, and I guess I wanted something to say to the parents. A few years later, I came out with this.

    You'd be right Samuel, wow that's horrible I'm so sorry to hear that. This poem truly is a witness from the sorrows a heart continues to hold.
