little sammy

Contributed by POH on Saturday, 24th June 2006 @ 11:31:06 PM in AEST
Topic: Grief

little sammy was a young boy of ten
i knew sam before i knew when was when
time after time, we would play and then play
time after time, and then day after day
like playmates who were made to be best friends,
every day was much fun; play and pretend

sammy and i hung out; thought we were cool
and all this while, we were just in grade school
more and more things, we both did together
many many things; birds of a feather
you'd be surprised to know we weren't twins

soon enough, we were no longer just boys
having fun with girls, rather than just toys
over high school, we did in fact stay friends
though now we weren't sure it'd be till the end

he wanted to go to college with me
i thought we should meet new friends; shouldn't we?
me and sammy did then go together
since he would not hear what i thought better
eventually, we fought and then part
lo, how sammy took it did break my heart
first letter; each line; why i hate myself

I am so sorry this terrible thing happened. My husband's best friend as a young man, a friend whom he camped and hunted with, one day asked to borrow his hunting rifle. He killed himself with that rifle and it was an act that affected my husband all his life. This was not your fault, as it was not my husband's fault. Peace be with you.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
