[hometext] => English project! It's about one of my mom's childhood friends.
[bodytext] => A piercing scream rushes into a mother's head Startled and shaken, she sits up in her bed She reassures herself that he's fine It's not the place, and it's not his time A young man of just eighteen He couldn't have died, there was too much he hadn't seen He hadn't experienced going to college He was a good boy, with lots of knowledge He hadn't experienced real love, or even a first kiss He was unaware of such a passionate bliss He was a very good looking boy, just a little shy But over all, he was the perfect guy Yet as the mother sat up reassuring herself that he was all right Her son was screaming into the dark night Pleading with God with no time to cry In those few seconds, memories of his mother flew by He said God if I don't make it, keep her safe for me As he remembered the time she held him as he cried over a scraped knee Help her stay financialy secure But most of all, let her know how much I love her And with that final thought his plane crashed into the ground After those long seconds of spiraling around Dennis was dead very soon after But his mother would never forget the sound of his laughter At the funeral, a weeping mother held onto the casket Trembling, she just couldn't handle it She asked him, I wonder if you knew That on that night, I was thinking of you I wonder if you thought of me As she prayed on her knee Little did she know as he lay losing the fight She was the one memory he left the world with that night [comments] => 4 [counter] => 178 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Colleen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
