36 Years Ago This Day

It all happend 36 years ago today The date being april 24th of 1983 Taking place on the highway Then quickly into eucalyptus tree The young man in a daze , walked away Opposite direction of the smashed up tree Walking directly onto the highway Getting hit by vehicles in lanes 1, 2 , and 3 It saddens my heart to say From that moment on , He lived through memory The young mother to be Was suddenly Awoken at approximately 3 Collision occurred 30 mins before So maybe you see The young daddy to be Said his goodbyes to her and his baby He was only 17 about to graduate Unable to meet his daughter Before his fate Meeting eachother would have been great He had to go though , He was unable to wait Maybe he'll wait For her at heavens gate He died april 24th , she was born July 13th of 1983 He lived on through her and memories She will never know her daddy Like no one knows their fate This is the way things had to be According to gods plan She will have to wait All family and friends were devistated To learn of this tragedy So much sorrow and sadness it created Even worry and concern For young mother to be His parents arranged a funeral For their son now belated The church overfilled with family and friends This pain will go away in time As the heart mends There was not a single dry eye Everyone asked the lord Why did he die Carrigan arrived and slowly filled The cemetery Pawbearers cried silently as they carried His casket to where hed be buried He said he wanted blue carnations When they get married Blue carnations lay on the casket The young men carried She wondered why he left her and his Baby she still carried She asked "why did you take him ?" She asked why he died ? She asked god to take away The pain she felt inside She wondered if she'd see him again On the other side She was pregnant , left alone And horrified As the blue casket lowered All her feelings intensified Everyone bowed their heads As they cried So many lives changed the day he died It took a long time until all The tears had dried There wasn't a single dry eye For their loved one had to die As everyone said their final goodbye And heard his mother's painful cry She wanted to know why Her son so young had to die They all were burt and asked GOD why Or they wondered why The young father to be Was a popular guy And he was just too young to die He was gonna be a daddy Didnt deserve to die Hes gone away now , must cut that tie To be strong , they must try Hes got wings now and can fly Hes an angel now in the sky Watching from the heavens up high Over his baby he could not tell " bye " Continued living through her Her birth took place that july
