The Obituary

He was born 
Cried too much 

Always afraid 
Slept way too much

Prayed to God
Not that much

Was Unhappy
Drunk too much 

Was a bad drunk 
But laughed too much 

Always at bad jokes 
Way too dark 

He loved 
Way too much 

And he died 
Way too young

He left his wife 
Without that much 

He died sad 
He tried but the rope didn't cut

R.I.P
We will see you soon our son

So sad! I hope it was not true! If so deepest sympathies.
