Lost Souls

The loss of someone is hard to take.
We ponder where their souls may lie,
But in our hearts a home they make.
In the memories we hold nigh.

The memories that make us smile.
The thoughts that make us cry.
Help us to hold onto them for a while.
Until it is time for them to fly.

What happens to the souls who were never known?
These souls must search the world for where they belong.
Never to find a place of their own.
They carry their despair as a somber song.

The souls that are remembered will never leave.
The ones forgotten will have no reprieve.

I don't know what to say, i am letterly speechless! You brought tears to my eyes and some really meanningful memories of mine. It such a beautiful strong poem. It is so truthful cuz there some people who even gone are still beside us everyday, remain deep in our hearts and their pictures and memories never fade away. However, your poem made me wonder about those who don't have someone to remember them, they are gone but feels like nothing happened at all, cuz no one did care about them. That's really sad. Anyways, I love it just keep writing you are truly gifted ^_^ Thank you for sharing this.
