  Our school also went through the death of a young girl who was only 16. She did in a car accident on the night of our homecomming. I didn't know her very well but when I saw her she always had a smile. I guess it showed me that you never know when you will take your last breathe.
• chelsea

• Leslie
  I lost my son at the age of 19 to cancer, he was diagnosed at aged 15, he never got to go to highschool because he was so sick, I encourage everyone to become bone marrow donors and get on the unrelated bone marrow registry. Christopher had an urelated bone marrow transplant as a last ditch effort to save his life. It is so sweet of you to write a poem about another student that fought and lost the battle to this dreaded disease. keep writing.
• Rebecca
  This poem really touched me. It was very emotive and I could really empathise with it. My little brother died of cancer. The points that the poem makes, are for me, all true. Goodbye is a poem that speaks true about the affecton that you feel when someone is gone. It was a brilliant poem and well-deserving of any praise.
• Scott

  This poem really touched me. Last week, on Monday, a friend of mine, Mike passed away after a 3 year long battle with a brain tumor. He was 19 years old. He always had a positive attiute about everything, even when he was sick. He never let you feel sorry for him. And he taught us the way we should live life & to never take anything for granted. life is too short. And just yesterday, it marked the 2nd anniversery of my best friends death. He had battled leukemia for 7 months before he passed. Just telling you that you are doing a good job with the poems & keep up the good work! RIP Mike & Joey, I love you.

  Your poem was beyond words! It was very well written. Two students from our school died of a horrendous car accident. I wasn't close to either of them, but we used to hang out. I'd like to say that your poem was inspiring and rather comforting. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to read it.

  I just found out today that a fellow student was raped and killed last night. I've been crying all day. I just can't imagine how it would be if that was one of my friends had died in her situation. I am using your poem to attach to the flowers I got to put at the flag pole. (where everyone is leaving personal notes, flowers, and balloons) I spent the day in the library with councilors b/c for some reason, it hit me REALLY hard. Its scary to think that it could have been ME in that situation. This poem has taken the words in my heart, and put them into something that makes more sense

  this is a really good poem..it reminded me of a girl that was in my class in 7th grade. She drounded and I really felt bad afterwards becuase she did not have to many friends becuase she was not right. I did talk to her but now I wish I would have talkd to her more.
