You shared a faithful smile with us, as each new day dawned.
Every step of the way, by the way, and somehow beyond.
The rhythm of your heart knows no end, only seasons.
Though we may be apart, must we dwell upon reasons?

^^This is such a beautiful way to start this poem! I especially like the last line.

If we asked, "what if we tried" while we take it all in stride.
We're humbled, I must confide, by what we find inside.
With each shining star we know the darkness will pass.
Though we may try to capture time, like sand in a glass.

^^I love the flow and rhyming of this stanza. I think this is probably my favorite. It also has so much emotion in this one stanza.

A tiny falling grain of sand to eternity is not so great.
Yet, by the time we say good-bye, it always seems too late.
The harmony of "heavenly bodies" sing a constant song.
You're forever in our thoughts, so we may only say so long.

^^ A beautiful way to end a beautiful poem. All in all this was an excellent poem. Filled with tons of emotion. Great job!! 5/5

Dude no wonder you won an award this was completly beautiful. i loved it. you truly have talent more then i can say.

A tiny falling grain of sand to eternity is not so great.
