Aj

A friend of mine was taken
He lived a good life
Ending in sorrow
By a boy with a knife

A fight broke out
Behind the grocery store
Jumped by another
Couldn't take them anymore

The very next morning
A bus driver found him dead
I got the news at work
Many thoughts ran through my head

Only 24 he did not 
Deserve to die
Holding back the tears
Til I seen his mother cry

Remembering the times
At work or out drinking
Wandering what those two
Young brothers were thinking

Still sticks in my heart
Every single day
Rest in heaven with the angels
We miss you AJ

A tragic but well written memorial to your freind. Keep the good memories and smile when you think of him. Don't let the evil that was done ruin you and make you bitter. Thank you for sharing sincerly Bobb Marly
