Heavenly Inspiration

A few days after high school graduation, a tragedy struck It pierced the whole town’s heart, it was like we all had bad luck Head on head collision right by my neighbor’s old farm A big semi-truck crashed right into a motorcycle causing nothing but harm On that shiny green motorcycle sat Christian, my dear friend When I heard the wretched news, I knew my heart would never mend Christian was only eighteen when the horror arose It still gives me atrocious shivers from my head to my toes How could this happen? Why did such a young soul have to go? I feel like until I arrive at the gates, I’ll never know Christian’s story has taught me to never stop I have to keep working hard until I make it to the top He’s never going to get the chance to live this beautiful life He will never experience what it’s like to have kids or a wife I’m living for Christian, I’m living for him I’m going to work hard until the day I die even if I have to break every limb Every time I reflect on the ghastly day It reminds me that I need to live my life to the fullest and listen to what others say Only the good dies young , right? My friends and I reflect on the horrible day and hold each other tight Our community passes one another and lets out a timid “hi” Because nobody knows what to say about a gorgeous boy who died
