in a time of quietness i reflect on childhood memories   caught wisping through my mind    falling leaves create the stage    words spoken were not cherished on the last day of our friendship    and those words were possibly the last    what were your thoughts as a dreaming child    i awaken to a nightmare after a gentle nudge    i find out you're gone    the machines that kept you alive were careless    did you ask Him to forgive you before you passed on    you slipped away into the ground..    you broke the vanity... you brought the silence ...    (i hope you are with Jesus.)
