A Poem For Mark Steven Robinette...

Written By Samantha Miller

It was 12 Months ago that you left us here
I look at your picture and i whipe away a tear.
Mark, you're missed so much each and every day
Im hoping that you hear us everytime we pray.
You touched our lives, and a great friend you were.
When I heard what happened to you, everything was a blur.
Selfishly, we all sat around and mourned your passing.
Crying, not understanding, questions we were all asking.
Why God? Why would you take him away?
Couldnt you save his life? Take him another day?
Your motives were good, so we should not question.
But were just waiting for our pain to lessen.
The years will pass. we all will grow older.
But every December 17th, we will be on somebodys shoulder.
Remembering the day what we heard the horrible news
Remembering what it felt like for our hearts to bruise.
Mark, We love you and your memory will live on.
No matter how many years you will be gone.
I will remember nothing but the smiles and your kindness
Praying God will give you a way that you will find this.
Mark, I just want you to know that youre always on my mind.
True friends like you were really hard to find.
Hear my prayers,theyre genuine and true.
You are sadly missed. and We love you.
Since youve left us weve come a long way.
And we are just waiting the right day,
That we will be with you again.
Goodbye Mark, I Will see you again

Lonely Tears

From the day my brother passed away,
I have wondered why in my heart,
Things have to happen this way,
And take families apart.

But the question is still there,
And it is one I do fear,
That is why my brother can't be here,
So now I am stuck with one lonely tear.

At night when I lay down,
No matter what I alway's seem to cry,
And then I am stuck with one big frown,
Simply because my brother is not around.

But I will find him again one day,
Then there won't be anymore fears,
And I will finally be able to say,
That there are no more lonely tears!

This Dream

          Why cant I seem to wake up from this dream?
        I went to sleep thinking of what you said before you left.
                It was almost as if you already knew!
                      But why? I mean, why you?
                        You were always there.
                         Every step of the way.
                    Even though you are gone now,
                            You are still here.
                          You always will be!
                  You were an angel sent from Heaven.
                          Why, oh dear God,
                 Why did you take this angel from us?
