Such a heartfelt and emotional poem. Although so very heartbreaking and sad when one whom we love so deeply is taken before their time, I've always felt in that circumstance that young love will live on for eternity. Beautifully written poem.

And the sentiment is heart-felt. GRANDPARENTS: One of nature's really successful inventions, don't you agree?
