When you left this world you left behind,
2 young baby girls,
And a beatiful loving wife.
When you left this world,
We all knew quite well that it wasnt your time to go.
I know it wasn't your fault,
But why did you have to leave?
Be it fate,
Be it faith,
But it wasnt your time to go.
You have gone from this world now,
But you will always remain in our hearts.
I never really knew you,
But I can still imagine your face.
I see you every Christmas,
I hear you everyday.
Louise has got your sporty side,
And Anna's got your face.
Then theres Anne,
Her lovely smile and laughter brings you back.
You never really left us,
But embedded in our souls,
A huge hole that will never be filled.
And if one day you look down on us,
And think we may have forgot.
Let me take the time to remind you Dave,
You,
Shall not be forgot.
Cora Barnes, 14
I wrote that for my uncle, David Michael who died when he was training soilders how to sky dive in 1988. I miss him very much and this poem caused a lot of running emotions so please look at this in a some what respectful way for my unle. RIP David we will always remember you.
