I don’t understand,
Why things happen the way they do,
Why can’t you be here?
Michael we all need you.
I feel depressed,
The tears keep flowing,
My heart is hurting,
And the pain keeps growing.
Here today,
Gone tomorrow,
Leaving this world with so much sorrow.
Tears,
Streaming down,
I keep crying,
Yet, I don’t make a sound.
So many people,
Who love and care,
So many people,
Who need you there.
You died yesterday,
Pain filled my heart,
Your gone,
And its tearing me apart.
Rest in peace,
Close your eyes,
Up in heaven,
Now you rise.

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

Im so sorry for what happen. Well I can relate to this poem. I've had people who passed away in my life unexpectedly. So I felt your emotion. Suggestion: your format was kind of had to read just a little bit.
