I do not know who wrote this poem, but I would like to say thank you very much to them.
Close to the door
he paused to stand
as he took his class ring
off her hand
all who were watching
did not speak
as a silent tear
ran down his cheek
and through his mind
the memories ran
of the moments they walked
and laughed in the sand
but now her eyes were so terribly cold
for he would never again
have her to hold
they watched in silence
as he bent to whisper the words.....
"I LOVE YOU" in her ear
he touched her face and started to cry
as he put on his ring and wanted to die
and just then the wind began to blow
as they lowered her casket
into the snow....
this is what happens
to men alive
when friends let friends
drink and drive.
