In Memory Of…
He had a dream,
A life so full of aspiration.
He had a name.
Do you remember what it was?
He had a family,
A little sister to protect.
He had a girl,
And a ring of promise just for her.
He had his friends…
They would never forget.
His eyes were blue,
a lit with life,
his smile charming,
and his words were honest.
His parents had cried that night.
He has a grave now.
Six feet of soil,
Wet from all their tears.
He has a white cross,
Along side the road,
Adorned with flowers.
And etched in black
It reads:
“In Memory Of…”

Description:
I don't know where this idea came from. I couldn't fall asleep one night so I wrote up a variety of drafts for this. Its not my favorite of my few poems, but I'm finally happy with it. Trying to break away from the four lines that rhyme format.
If the concept isn't obvious, which I hope it was, its about a boy (or girl if you'd like) that had a wonderful life worth living but was hit, presumably, by a drunk driver.
This is not about someone I have lost. - Date: 11/04/2008
