My+life+closed+twice+before+its+close

On my own, I chose to read this poem because i like the style that Emily writes in. When first reading this poem, I thought she talked about a near death experience of her own life. But then the title gave me a different perspective. The peom explains how two important people in her life died and she was stuck with the grief that it caused her. I can relate to this because losing anyone that is close to you and that you love, is the hardest thing to deal with. In the poem, Emily says that losing those who are important to you, isn't the last time you will ever be them. Though a part of you is gone because they are not here with you, this poem truly reassures that one day you will meet those you love in heaven. I liked this poem a lot because of the fact that it talks about even those that are not here with us anymore, one day you will be with them, not grieving the loss of them, but rejoicing because, you got a chance to be reunited with them. 1204829715
