For The Last Time

                  His eyes closed for the last time
                  They will never open again
                  The people around him cry
                  But he just lays there
                  With a calm peaceful look
                  Though peace is far the feeling around him
                  A sudden sharp sadness fills the room
                  Tears begin to flow
                  They watch in utter silence as the nurse brings the blanket over his face
                  Did he live a long good long life
                  Maybe good but not long
                  It was cut tragically short
                  A man driving
                  Was intoxicated
                  He tried to swerve
                  But it was too late
                  The young boy of only 6
                  Was fataly hit
                  No amount of money the man can give
                  Will bring happiness to the family
                  No amount of time the man spends in jail
                  Will serve the family justice
                  There will be one less place at that table
                  There will be one less person in the new family photo
                  There will be one more person to pray for
                  There will be one more person dispise
                  Many people shed a tear
                  As many people cried
                  As this six year old boy
                  Took his last breath
                  And he closes his eyes for the last time

Dedicated to the Memory of Joshua Penny who died at the hand of a drunk driver at the age of 6
