A Poem for a Friend

I know you didn't know me, but I love you just the same. I'd heard so much about you, I thought I would go insane. I really felt I knew you, though of course, you know the rest. Why did you leave us? Was this God's plan? Will I see you up in heaven, holding Jesus's hand? You should see how much we miss you, there's so much pain to bear, now that you've gone missing, you're not here, you're over there. I guess I'll see you someday up in heaven with Jesus, but until then my friend, we'll miss you, and we'll remember, after we've picked up the broken pieces.
