POEM

BY

Tara Winton

We've all had times that we've felt real bad.

We've cried our tears alone and none knew we were sad.

We've had days when nothing seemed to go right,

and we wanted to go to sleep and not wake up that night.

We've stuck it out and chose to live our life,

We didn't leave behind our friends, our family,..our wife.

I Wonder if you thought of your mom and dad before

how they'd sit in their car and stare at you office door.

How exactly are they supposed to feel?

They wonder if it's all so real.

Just a nightmare is all it is, he'll be all right.

But then they awake and you're still six feet under ground

So many people could have helped you. Now, you aren't around

We're sorry you had to go, but in a way, you'll always be here

We'll keep you in our hearts and grieve you with each tear.

I wrote this poem and I don't really know you at all,

but it pains me too see such a strong, successful man fall.

I am very sorry for what happened to your son.

God be with you and all his friends and family!
