Back in high school, I did a lot of writing in English..well in college I do a lot a writing to. But this is one of my favorite peice...written and dedicated to my dear friend Hannah who sadly passed away a few years ago...
“Ode to Hannah”
Everyday started off so simple
You were so bubbly and smiley
Not a care in the world of what others may think
Even on your bad days you found happiness
Then that one day that changed you forever
Still not letting it bring you down
In some ways it made you stronger
And other ways it made us stronger
Then that day we trudged up that hill
There was no sound but the sky rumbling
Gracing everyone with open arms
Almost as if the earth stalled in its rotation
You were gone, but you weren’t
Cause up there on Angel hill I could feel you
My days aren’t as full without your graceful presence
My phone vibrates one less time
Your life was something to treasure
Your time was of the essence
Your smile was something to always cherish
It’s you that shined a light on life.
