Dedication

Someone at my school, a senior to be exact, died in a car crash this past Friday and I felt the need to write something about it. So this piece is dedicated to him eventhough at this time I can't quite remember his name.

 

So Sad

That you died like that

I never knew you

I don’t even know your face

I might, if someone would show it to me

How can I cry for a boy I never knew

But I look around at all the bowed heads

And all the tear stained faces

And how can I not feel that pain

How can I stand by and just watch

Without a twitch of the heart

I don’t know how you went

Or really when you went

But I do know

Your presence won’t go unforgotten

I might not know you

But that doesn’t mean others didn’t

You had friends and family

I’m sure

They will miss you

And as for me

I’ll say a prayer

I’ll pray for you

I’ll pray for your parents

I’ll pray for your friends

I’ll give them condolences

And then I’ll pray for all the others

That they might not suffer the way you did

That their parents won’t suffer like yours

That their friends won’t suffer like yours

Then if all goes as planed

The sun will rise tomorrow

I and the rest of us on earth

Will put on our go and get ‘um faces

And we will go on

As you watch from a fluffy white cloud

In heaven above

So Sad

This is really touching. It actually reminded me of a few people who have passed away in my life as I read. Well done :)

Amazing, it reminds me of a funeral where we are all crying but later we get back to our lives and can only look back with sadness.

Had something similiar happen my senior year. Didn't know him very well, but many did and I met his mom afterwards. Good write.
