Gwaihir Posted December 8, 2002 Report Posted December 8, 2002 I always looked at you and saw you strong The most generous guy I’ve ever met. I saw you give the only health you’ll have, Knowledgeably, because you’re kind like that. Whenever I had my stupid troubles, You’d always care; you’d talk and comfort me. I was too immature to look at you, To hear the tone beneath the loving words. Beneath all your giving you hid your pain. Like a fire, you give off brilliant light. I watch as you illuminate the world. Your light’s pleasant and comforting to all, But every flame must burn something, my friend, And now I see that it’s yourself you burn.

Falcon2001 Posted December 10, 2002 Report Posted December 10, 2002 Amazing poem, Gwai. I always kind of write long, 'cause I have problems writing good short poems, but this is an excellent short poem. I hope you post some more sometime, and I should catch you on IM sometime...I've had you on my buddylist for almost a year.
