Mystery
Such a mystery is death
that it takes one so suddenly
that they slip from your grasp
when you're not looking.
Such a mystery is God
that some lives end so young
that such a good person is gone
before you really know them well.
Such a mystery is life
that i accept death as death
that Johnathon died without a warning
and that a lovely, funny soul is now at rest.
Death
Stuck in this twisted thing called life,
you found the exit door,
you took your own life Jan 18th,
and now you are no more.
I'm sure our paths will cross again,
on a brighter day,
I know in my heart and in my thoughts
you'll be happier this way.
Jennifer, your spirit is in heaven i am sure,
I will always remember you, as the funny girl i adored.
15 was far too young,
for you to go away,
i wish i'd had the chance to express
all that i wanted to say.
Be good, dear Jen,
keep happy
and i will always pray for you,
and i'll remember all the things you said,
please guide me in all i do.
Jennifer Anne De Groen, R.I.P 18th January 1999.
Hold close to me.
I can't bear to see you slip away just yet.
Let me feel your warmth as you cry tears down my cheek.
No-one ever really dies
yet it seems as though you truly are.
But this journey you must take
will take away your pain.
Goodbye, princess, may you be in the Lord's arms
as we cry our sorrowful tears over a loss we didn't have the strength or power to prevent.
God, if you're listening, let your warm arms keep her safe as we sleep
and cry and mourn and go about our days trying to survive
without someone very special
someone who has to leave
before she truly feels the power of my complete love.
