Why do we,
As family and friends,
Not notice what's there
Until the bitter end?
I lost a loved one,
Here today,
He chose his path,
Forever this way.
It seems so simple,
At least to me,
Why not say no,
Just let it be.
Why even try it,
Why go that way?
In the road of choices,
Why did you stray?
What made you go?
What made you leave?
I know how you died,
Yet I still don't believe!
That kid I once knew,
So very long ago,
The funny joker,
Not an average "Joe".
So many family gatherings,
So much time together,
Remember hide and seek,
Always and forever!
That's what I will remember,
You always that way,
No matter what happens,
I love you to this day!
