Before you read this poem I want to thank some people:

God, who's mercy is everlasting and endures forever.

My family, for just being themselves

EstelSHIELD, for giving helpful suggestions for writing poetry. It really helped and I hope you can tell a difference :)

*warning this is really sad*

If God had let you have your way
And taken you that fateful day

That moment could have been made worse
The pain could have ran much deeper
Praise the Lord! He is our keeper

His power and might stayed your hand
His love and mercy spared your life
His grace dulled our sharpest knife

My world would be unbearable
My heart broken, my soul aching
A smile would I be faking

The room we shared, I'd grow to hate
That empty bed I'd always see
Your bear needs a hug, not from me

Your laugh that used to fill the room
Your smiles, they were contagious
The puns you made, were outrageous

I'd miss you every waking hour
The tears would fall and never cease
I'd blame myself and not release

If God had let you have your way
And taken you that fateful day
