A Letter To Heaven

by Marissa shook

March 7, 2016

Dear Kiersten,

I hope heaven isn't just full of angels.

I hope there are abundant ladybugs, majestic horses, and cuddly dogs.

I pray heaven is filled with beauty and song!

I know heaven is full of angels just like you—

unfortunately.

unfortunately—

I know heaven is full of shooting stars like you,

unfortunately—

I know heaven is full of beautiful people

who journeyed there too young...

leaving this world behind—

a brighter place albeit.

souls who may not have granted wishes...

but did grant hope and joy!

lovely souls who lit up the world!

thank you for lighting up my world.

you made my life a better place...

I miss you—

I love you—

see you some day...

keep shining until then best friend,

please help me shine like you—

love,

Marissa Shook

(in memory of Kiersten June 1^st 1998-march 6^th 2016)

I am a quirky person. I have many passions. however, my emotions tend to get in the way of things. some day I might even learn to use the hurricane inside my soul to fuel the fire of passion that drives me. so thanks for reading my poems. I am not very good at the spelling or the grammar. however writing makes me feel better. I am currently using this poetry to help me work through the death of my best friend. I am really struggling with the loss. I do apologize for her being the center of all my poetry. however if you are trying to work through a loss I would really suggest writing about it. it is the only way I know how to cope. I am not a good writer. however I hope you like some of my poems.
