UNTITLED 2

A friend of mine found out today
A friend of hers had passed away,
He, like her, was still so young
His adult life had scarce begun.
Eighteen years - too soon to leave
Eighteen years - too soon to grieve,
A life cut short, potential lost
A sentence passed, there's no riposte.
His illness gave them time to share
Perhaps to hope, perhaps prepare,
Yet what could ever ease the pain
Of no more seeing him again.
Life goes on, or so I've heard
But "grief" is much too short a word,
To apt convey the pain that's felt
Through a fate so heartless dealt.
A friend of mine found out today
A friend of hers had passed away,
The end of life we cannot plan
So live each day the best we can.
