For Brent

For Brent: The unexpected death of a friend weighs heavy on my mind Unexpected, horrific accident, I can't understand why it was his time. A tragedy takes a young life And makes a widow of a young wife A child loses his parent Parents lose their child and have to say goodbye. Friends and family are left to wonder why. Death is cruel, emotionless, passionless as it takes who it may please Never caring that the person has loved ones who grieve Locked in shocked, heart wrenching, numbing grief I struggle to find a reason and hold onto the belief that he is out of pain and in a better place But how can that be when we will never again hear his voice or see his face? We're taught to believe we will hold him in our hearts until we see him again someday That time heals our wounds and it gets better every day. Right now I'm still in shock and my heart is heavy and sore as my childhood friend is gone away.
