This is beautiful and I understand your train of thought

I like to read my music player so I like to play music lyrics for kids songs

I am resigned. I do not approve. But I am resigned to feed the roses.

I am not someone who reads or really understands poetry. But this so haunting and beautiful, such few words loaded with so much emotion.

A very well written poem here i absolutely like it

A true but sad piece. We all will end up this way eventually. Why fight it. Resign yourself to the fact that this is what life is.

there's a book Baby by Patricia MacLachlan one of my favorite books and this poem is like the moment of truth...

I found this poem several years ago and it has haunted me ever since. It strikes at both the pain caused by the loss of a loved one and at the futility of fighting that pain. It also reduces the loss in that we know it is suffered by all; by the wealthy, the powerful, the young, the old...by all. Now, tonight, it hits with full force as I sit in an intensive care room, watching my dear Mother pass this earth. I will pass this poem on at her services. The pain will still be there, overwhelming pain, yet this poem will help force the pain out of my insides to the surface where i can deal with it and hopefully put most of that pain to rest, as shall my Mother. May God accept her beautiful soul.

This poem was read in remembrance of a dear friend who lost himself to the world, alone on a german traintrack. They hit me then, those haunting words forever clinging to his memory. We miss you.

This is one of the finest poems about defying death that I've ever read. On 9/11, this is the first poem I sought out to read. There is fierce solace here that one needs in the face of the outrage death incites.
