Mother, father, daughter, son,
lover, friend, or anyone,
has a death in their eyes,
or loves the one who has to die.
Goes through pain,
and sufferance too,
feels like wasting their life,
is what they have to do.
But when they talk,
and when they think,
they understand death, and its link.
They understand why their gone;
how and why it helped their bond,
with the ones that they love,
and the one who's going above.
So as you can see,
one death leaves many choices,
but there's only one that takes you far.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem when I was eight. I came home from school, and discovered that my uncle had died that morning. My mom left for the hospital, and I decided to write this down. It was later performed at the funeral. :)
