Poetic Obituaries: A poem [Nicole] Schiffman wrote

as a high school senior about the Iraq war, which was read by her father, took on awful new meaning at her funeral.

The poem, titled "Simple Word," began: "Innocent lives to be lost, Love destroyed in only minutes, Fear entering everyone's lives, Children hearing the unimaginable. Having to bury the one they raised."

from Newsday: Final farewell to slain friends
