Gone, But Still There Poem by Rodney vali

Everyone wants to hold on,
hold on to the ones they love,
to the ones they care for.
We want to keep all people we know,
keep them close to us.
Sadly, we can't do that,
we can't hold on to them all.
One day,
one terrible day,
we have to let go.

We have to let go,
let go of our friends,
let go of our loved ones.
They all have their own lives,
their own things to do.
Even when they dissappear,
or worse, when they die,
we have to let go.
We have to move on,
move on with our lives.
Letting go can be hard,
but remember one thing.
Even if you never see them again,
they're always with you.
They're always there,
there in your heart.
