In Loving Memory Of Benjamin D. Perotti 1990-2008 <br /> <br />Dedicated to all those whose lives he has touched, to all those <br />who will continue to love him through eternity. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Overwhelming grief from the depths of your soul. <br />The deepest pain bestowed within the core of your being. <br />For there is no comprehension, only to ask 'Why? ' <br />A life taken so young, for this wasn't how it was supposed to be. <br />How does everyone go about his or her everyday lives? <br />How can the world go on, <br />When your world has come to a screeching halt? <br />And the hustle and deafening noise of life seems louder now. <br />Take heed, don't fight your tears, <br />In your defeated despair. <br />Some give well-intended words of condolence. <br />Some hold your hand and not know what to say. <br />Others extend consoling arms driven from heavy hearts, <br />For they all mean well, in their own way. <br />Perhaps feeling the love surrounding you, <br />You have a small question to ask, <br />'Why aren't their words of comfort <br />Strong enough to bring him back? ' <br />Tears shed until you can cry no longer, <br />Only to weep again. <br />Perhaps a wish to defy destiny, to change this wretched fate, <br />Or to bargain or sell your soul to rewind the hands of time. <br />Some of us believe he is with God and Heaven above. <br />Others believe he is only a dimension away. <br />A soul so strong, he touched so many lives. <br />He will live on in so many ways. <br />In time you will see the signs, for he has never left you. <br />A longing to hold him, to tell him you love him, <br />There are so many things to say. <br />Take comfort, for he is already by your side, <br />And he already knows, <br />Yes, he already knows.<br /><br />Cathleen Hodgkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-already-knows/
