You know those people that make life better
The ones who make a frown feel less sad
The ones who make your heart
 melt when they smile
 And ache when they cry
The ones we use and loose
The ones who feed our needs
The ones who see when we fall
And help us back up again anyway
Yea those people.
The ones we miss more after their gone

About this poem

    Yes, yes, and yes. Although "those People" usually conjure images of those foreign to our standards of pleasantness, but this work looks at those who are very much the opposite, the ones well-known who bring us contentment in the sense that life is as it should be. Very well done, as are the best spoken works, all of which are spoken/written in a manner to allow the readers to actually see in our minds the people among our own acquaintances, past or current, who built those mental pictures.

    This poem gently honors the quiet importance of the people we don’t fully understand until they’re gone.
