Near the door
He paused to stand
As he took his class ring
Off her hand
All who were watching
Did not speak as a silent tear
Ran down his cheek
And through his mind
The memories ran
Of the moments they walked
And ran in the sand hand in hand
But now her eyes were so terribly cold
For he would never again
Have her to hold
They watched in silence
As he bent near
And whispered the words
I love you in her ear
He touched her face and started to cry
As he put on his ring and wanted to die
And just then the wind began to blow
As they lowered her casket into the snow
This is what happens to a man alive when friends let friends drink and drive.

That last rhyme made me cry in the heart.

The message is powerful...

Ran in the sand hand in hand doesn't go with the timing of the rest of the poem, but this is really really good. At first I thought it was about a breakup, until you get to the end. The message really gets across and its very sad.
