This poem is from John's POV. SPOILER WARNING If you haven't seen the episode "Sunday", I suggest you don't read this. It might ruin things for you when you do get around to watching it. It has to do with everyone dealing with the loss of their friend.
XXXXXXXXXX
--Coping--
Everyone has their own way of coping
With loss in their daily life
Many people cry to cope with the loss
Because for them, it is right.
Others decide to blame themselves
As if there was something they could do
Weather they could change anything at all
Many of us haven't got a clue
The way I cope with the loss of a friend
I try to be strong for others
For I am their leader they look to me
Even though inside, my heart suffers
Then it happened, one tragic day
The loss of a wonderful friend
It seems like it'll take forever
Like our hearts will never mend
Many lives were saved by him
Many times it was me
The only thing I can hope now
Is that now he can be free
Free from worrying about the wraith
And about if someones life will end
Free from the dread of going off world
And the mission reports that he would have to send
One of our best, our wonderful doctor
Lost to us forever
Would anyone forget you Carson Beckett?
My answer would be never.
