Tear Jerker Poems

Katherine February 6 2012

Heaven

• Author: Unknown• I like this poem because of the point of

view. The little kid that it is about just seems so helpless and like you just want to give him or her a hug and tell them that everything will be okay. I also like at the end where the operator gave the kid the number for the church because its kind of like a glimmer of hope because there are plenty of people there to help.

How to Save a Life

• The Fray• I live this poem because I had a

friend that said she was going to kill her self and I had to negotiate with her and even now when that song comes on the radio I usually cry because it reminds me how close I was to loosing her.

Before the War, Penny RockI like this poem because I’ve met people with PSTD and it makes you nervous just knowing that if you make to much noise that he will think he is back in Vietnam where Charlie is

out behind every bush. I remember on veteran’s day the nursing home had small party and this one particular guy kept on

staring off into space and I knew exactly what it was for. I some times wonder what these people were like before this had such an

effect on how they think

“Step one you say we need to talk”

“Where did I go wrong I lost a friend somewhere along in the bitterness”

“Or he’ll say he's just not the same and you will begin to wonder why you came”

“And I would have stayed up with you all night had I know how to save a life”
