"I carry your heart with me(I carry it in my heart)I am never without it"

                                                     Quote _ by E.E. Cummings


dear brother,
did you ever know
what hit you
late at night
as you sat all alone on
the curb of a street?

the car slammed
straight into a tree
The driver
didn’t see
that you lay under his car-
dead upon impact

young and drunk -
girlfriend on his lap -
he killed you,
dear brother,
with such pure stupidity
on that dreadful night

much you had
to give the world, for
you mattered
so much more
than the ignorant young man
who ran you over

How random
the act that killed you -
you- the best
of us all -
taken instantly from us
on a lonesome street

I think that
you knew you were doomed!
You sent us
long letters
(something not common for you)
before you met fate 

forty years 
goes quickly, dear Dale
You missed so
much from life.
When I join you, please be there
waiting to greet me
