This was written by me...I wrote it for all here, and anyone is welcome to use my poems at anytime. This one is called...

 "My broken heart still beats"

"Broken hearts still beat" but emptiness resides,
and continues carrying love to the ones it provides.
Seeking shelter from pain that burns deeper within,
thats when the {words of silence} will start to begin.
Life falls out of focus while its pulse can slow us down,
and its energy of a smile, becomes a saddened frown.

But...

"Broken hearts still beat" among the love it so attends,
refusing to ever give up on its (Family or its friends).
Doubt tries to conquer all and [justify the mean's]
with such unfortunate despair, the hurt still intervenes.
We now go through lifes cycle ~One day at a time~
hoping that one day 'justice somehow will fit the crime'.

But...

"Broken hearts still beat" as threads of faith remain,
going through this tradgety, and its memories I obtain.
May God lay hands upon me to lift my undying pain,
an teach me to understand why I must endure this reign.
You've gone away, a "precious treasure" now stored,
and back in the loving arms of our beautiful Lord!

But...

"My broken heart still beats" since you had to go,
may our Lord shine bright with love for you to know.
My time on earth also carries; 'This souls date due',
I promise I will visit, when my work here is through.
Until then, I love you friend...with every passing day,
holding memories close and won't let them slip away.
