Poignant and passionate

Death is painful to deal with but the death of a young one shatters the heart to pieces.

xThis peom is a favorite.

A simple, and poignant, graveside piece that speaks for anyone dealing with the loss of a loved one.

this is the best poem i ever read! it got some heart

This brings such familiarity with it, such human-ness pours from it, loss, grief, love unspoken.... My mother passed 40 years ago and not a day goes by that the root of this poem, its essence has not wrenched from my soul... Life goes on, as they say, as do the years. But not really. How intensely beautifully Mr. Wilde described this part of us.

My favourite of his.
