A Needless Loss

A NEEDLE SS LOSS
 WHEN I SEE SENSELESS DYING
My heart starts crying
A YOUNG LIFE GONE THAT WAS NEEDLEES
Because of someone that was heedless
Not seeing the signs that were there
Or maybe it was because They did not care
Or was it because they did not see
Eyes that show fear and agony
IF ONLY SOMEONE CLOSE HAD ONLY SEEN
THE LOSS OF A YOUNG LIFE MIGHT HAVE NEVER BEEN.

Very touching words and so sadly true.The only positive,if there is one is to inspire those of us who like to write to try to reach out and open other’s eyes.Thank you for this Bob and for your care.

Well written Bob. Sometimes we need to take note of the very minute signs that warn us of the impending danger.
