Landon's Poem

I never realized what kind of life I lead

Until I met a girl doomed to be dead

She taught me about life a special way

To make lists and plans for every day.

I learned about love unselfish and gentle

A friendship caring and strangely tranquil

After the life I was used to, it was a pleasant change

I fell in love, and learned lifestyles to exchange.

I'll never forget the girl who taught me

How to reach goals and make wishes come true

Who brought me to see a different reality

And to make telescopes to see the world through.

I have gone down life's path with my love like an ember

As I think of the girl who took me for a walk to remember.
