The day I died
you held me tight,
shielding me away from the night.
Your arms were around me,
even if they didn't have to be.
And I was happy,
even if it was just a little bit sappy.

The day I died
you looked into my eyes,
and swore they glistened like the night sky.
Then I blushed and looked away,
when you said you'd be with me each and every day.
But I knew you were right,
because I could feel it to, our hearts bound together so tight.

For The Day I Died

I found my love,



and Rose to heaven, up above.

You know when people say, I would die happy if I died now? well that line was my inspiration, it really made my mind reel.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN

In this poem, you really hit a cord in my heart. Mixing death with love, like black and white, made me look at this peice with a new light. I love how you incorperated "glistened like the nightsky." that was really deep.

I thought in this poem, you were able to really find the essence of being so happy you could die in that moment with a smile on your face. And I thought that the rhyming was really great;)
