Life cut short

Self inflicted sin

Price for drugs and money

Came to a painful end

The pain of course

Not felt by you

Felt by those left behind

Still today 

We wonder why

No chance to say goodbye

Left behind 

Besides your kids

A grieving mom and dad

Questioning why

You had to go

So early in your life

Many things not understood

We will never figure out

But if today

You are still around

God bless and keep you

Safe and sound
