Casey

One Year later... Your still not forgetten

Like a Flower

Always beautiful and unique;

Like a Tree

Forever growing;

It comes and goes

With the current;

Each page

Turning to the next;

It stops suddenly

Like the wind;

Life is never

What you expect

It to be;

You will never be forgotten

You will forever live on

in the heart of football;

Author's Note

I wrote this for a friend I who died one year ago today from a staph infection... We All Miss You Casey. Also for the last line, He was a star football player, and football was the town's life, since it was a small town where we come from.

I like this, it shows that even though he's gone, a piece of him will be very much alive. Nicely written.

[Poetic Beauty]

this is a great tribute to your friend.

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful and sad poem. It scare when young people die of things like staph infection. It make me feel afraid for my children. You brought back to life a good man. We need to remember those who made us happy in our life. A excellent poem.

nice work on this poetic tribute

[Chilson, Joshua]

We have all lost loved one's, losing a friend is really hard to take and this poem to him is lovely. Most find it hard to release things from the heart to the world, I find them very meaningful and releasing. There is only one correction I can point out, line 8 "Turning", just thought I would let you know so it's flow would be complete. Anyway, lovely write.

I think the last line puts on a damper on the otherwise sheer timelessness of this writing... it's a great poem and tribute to your friend regardless, but football? Really? Won't he forever live on in the heart of friends and family or even his community?

Very nicely said, no you never know what life will be

Really good.
