#98 You Meant So Much

This is a poem that I want to dedicate to my cousin Jason. He was special to everyone and touched a lot of hearts. He died of suicide at the age of only 14. I just want to say I miss you, Jason - and I will always love you. I am 13 years old and in the 7th grade. Jason 4/27/84-3/6/99

You Meant So Much

by Cassie Mitchell

You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky

Your smile alone warmed hearts
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near

Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time

Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain.

I just wanted to write that this poem really touched my heart. My mother commited suicide 10 yrs ago so i can relate to this poem. I can sleep every night knowing that she's safe in God's hands now. R. I. P Mama 1961-1996

Cassie, this is a beautiful poem which I found while I was looking for something to read at my loving Mother's funeral. The words are so fitting as she died last weekend having been in severe pain for many years. The tears flowed, yet again.

Hi, I'd just like to take a moment and tell you that this poem is soo good and it really touched my heart. My cousin commited suicide last year in July, only if we knew why. We miss him so much and i never knew how to explain this, but this poem. wow, it just tells it all. I just might frame this and put it up in my room. His name was Jared, he had no reason to leave, at least thats what we thought. Thanks again for taking the time to write this, I bet you went threw the same thing. -13 year old missing her cousin :-(

At last a decent depiction of the sorrows and joys of suicide if only i could feel the pang of joy and sorrow i would die different deaths a thousand times over.
