A Life Taken Too Soon

He was a redhead boy, sweet, with an exuberant soul, filling our hearts with joy. No longer are we whole. His life an accident stole! Gone is our beloved Dale, who was our greatest boon, gone beyond this earth’s veil, beyond stars, beyond pale moon - a life taken too soon. March 19 2018 for Laura Loo's "10 lines 5 words III" Contest

This is nothing short of beautiful, I too lost a friend, although I had not seen him in over 30 years  I never forgot him, he got cancer and was a doctor, that's the breaks

Oh, sweetie - I was enjoying your rhyme and content, then I read the name and joy evaporated. I do say it is a mighty fine write, totally along the lines LuLoo appreciates, but I regret the pain between the lines that lingers in you - it is life though. Love ... CayCay

this one is true, Frederic. My brother Dale was killed by a stupid drunk driver in 1985
