It's Hard Poem by Shonta Mckoy

Dear Tom, this is a very hard time for us right now.It hurts to know that you will no longer be with us to laugh and joke around, or to talk about the good and bad times we had shared.
It was hard for us to see you go, just hoping you were asleep, waiting for you to awake and say, 'Hey yall, I'm okay'. But the truth is you were called home to be at rest It's hard, it's hard, it's hard to say our final goodbyes. So now rest your eyes as we sit here and say our goodbyes.
