my Father introduced this poem to me when I was 14 and now that I am 54 and he just died last week, hope to use it in his funeral service. The last line says it all--Live goes on, I forget just why. He will be missed greatly. 12/23/2008.

My teacher gave me this book to read just recently and I just happened to read this exact poem. I like the way that it is so simple but somehow catches your attention. I wonder what atually happened in the story and if the boy was actually sick.

sara- this was really good and true.
Kira- I liked this poem because it is not lying because it shows that when something bad happens, you can not let it stall your life, like you said, Life must go on.
