in depth look at poem: This poem is a poem that I wrote when I was reflecting on the different things that she has helped me with (like making me feel better and stuff...not actual events). I have, before putting these poems (the ones for and about Sarah) I have done some major editing.
Thinking Back
I am thinking back with joy upon that day
when you helped me become
a person who loves life.
thank you so much for all you've done.
I am thinking back with joy upon that day
when you were there when I
felt so depressed and alone.
thank you so much for all you've done.
I am thinking back with joy upon that day
when you helped me to see
the joy there is in life.
thank you so much for all you've done.
I am thinking back with joy upon that day
when you told me that I am worth something
and that I am special in my own way.
thank you so much for all you've done.
I am thinking back with sadness upon that day
when I had to say good-bye thinking
that I might never see you again.
I was so sad when you had to leave me.
