Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Narrative

Age Does Not Matter

Age does not matter
It does not matter
As to who you are
It comes in all ages

His sister had a shock 
She went to her son
Knocked on the door
Then she rang the bell

Being scared she called 
The police department
As soon as the door opened
She rushed inside

Looking on the floor 
She saw her son laid
On the hall carpet
Shocked she screamed

The police told her
That her son was dead
There was no blood shown
A coroner will check the body

To see the cause of death
Her son was young
His age only Forty-four
See age does not matter
