To Jennie Poem by Mark Twain

To Jennie

Rating: 3.5


Good-bye! a kind good-bye,
I bid you now, my friend,
And though 'tis sad to speak the word,
To destiny I bend

And though it be decreed by Fate
That we ne'er meet again,
Your image, graven on my heart,
Forever shall remain.

Aye, in my heart thoult have a place,
Among the friends held dear,-
Nor shall the hand of Time efface
The memories written there.
Goodbye,
S.L.C.

Mark Twain was one of my favorite poets. This poem tells what alot of people need to know. When people die, you shouldn't be sad, you should be happy that they passed because they know have happiness.

Every momentum shared with a love one should be emotional remember respective by thy self, and cherish the thought of the once a moment together shared. No matter what so ever changes the apartment of company that makes it a so long a good bye... There's no regret, a once a upon a time...

all deaths should be serious. However there is also great joy for us because we know that our loved one is now with the Lord. Mark Twain is good at explaining this as a religious poet. Originally he was not a poet but he did an excellent job with this poem.
