A man had returned to the dust!
His friends had called to check on him
On this twenty-eight of August.
Not knowing he was a victim.
The night before, all three of them:
Greg Reid, Javon, and Michael B.
Knowing he was for them a gem,
Made sure, at home, he had to be.
Now, did they know he was dying
Or did they say "Bye" just in case!?!
The next day, they would be crying.
That day, the world had lost a man,
Black Panther who can't be replaced
was no other than Chad Boseman!

Chadwick Boseman; a gifted soul,
He put his all into every single role.
Black Panther was so groundbreaking,
When he passed; hearts were left aching.

Life goes by in a flash is a
famous quote/ saying. The
longer I live on this earth
I’ve found that quote/ saying
to be true. This year 2020
has made a believer out of
me. I’ve seen so many people
pass away like never before.
( Family, Friends, Celebs,
Strangers).Due to COVID-19
and other things. All these
things remind that life is fragile.
However, it will always be what
you make of it. So live it to the
full.Make your mark( in whatever
capacity that is).Because life
really does go by in a flash.Try
to give your flowers to the living
while they can still smell and
appreciate them. And I will try to
do likewise. While I’m still able to
smell the sweet scent of the roses.
