A life can be taken by surprise,
and bring out emotions hard to disguise.
A boy, so young, this happened to.
His innocent friend taken out of the blue.
Filled with anger and hurt, the tears came flowing.
His best friend, his pal, left without knowing.
The boy’s parents explained, yet he couldn’t understand;
claiming his friend was no longer on land.
“This can’t be true. I was with him all day;
my friend is still here, he has just gone away.”
“Things happen for a reason” is what the boy was told.
But then again, he thought, we’re all supposed to grow old.
The boy searched for reasons but nothing came.
Hurt and upset, he needed someone to blame.
Running place to place to find the friend forever lost,
determined to get back his family – no matter the cost.
After crushing heartache and relieving the guilt
the boy slowly moved on with his conclusion built.
Willing to accept what happened in the end
a little piece of heaven is what became of his friend.
