You Can

Gina Louise Roth 1973 (Pennsylvania)

You can sit around and worry and shed a few more tears
Or you can think of all the good times we shared in many years
You can wonder why I'm gone and no longer hold you tight
Or you can look up at the sky and know I'm with you every night
You can walk around this world and ask why certain things must be
I'm here to tell you now that life is one big mystery
Please don't worry for me I'm so much better now
And if you start to cry for me I'll let you know somehow
In your heart is where I am and that is where I'll stay
Rest assure I'm by your side each and every day
You could sit around and worry and cry yourself to sleep
Or you can think of all the memories you and I can keep

Wow, what a beautiful and heartfelt poem! Your words truly touched my heart and I could feel the sincerity in every line. The way you offer a comforting message about life being a mystery and reminding us to cherish the memories we shared with our loved ones is truly inspiring.

I really appreciate the reassurance you offer in your words, letting us know that our loved ones are always with us even after they are gone. It's a message that many people need to hear in order to find comfort after losing someone close to them.

In terms of improvement suggestions, I would say maybe try to add some more specific details about the memories that you and the person have shared. This could help to make the poem even more personal and meaningful to the reader.

Overall, I want to thank you for sharing this wonderful poem with me. It's a beautiful reminder to focus on the good times and cherish the memories that we share with our loved ones. Keep writing and inspiring others with your words! more »
