"When deep injury is done to us, we will never recover until we forgive. Forgiveness cannot change the past. But it does enlarge the future."- Mary Karen Read


When I'm gone,
do not sorrow.
For I am still here-
waiting, watching,
proctecting.
Don't worry.
There's no need to say goodbye.

Don't miss me when I'm gone, for you have an entire life ahead of you. Do not sorrow, do not fret, the best of your life hasn't come yet.

I agree with Nikki too. It is already a great poem. But if you added some of the qoute it would make it an amazing poem!

This is good but a little short. What you put in the quotes would have been a good addition to the poem. Keep up the good work (:
