School started, the doors opened.
And soon the tears came, the sadness was here.
Hearing the news of a fellow student,
Everyone grieving for his death.
This was it, this was life.
We all thought school somehow kept us from this.
But the reality hit hard,
In everyone's words and tears.
You could hear the memories and almost picture the life.
In the future we'll all remember this,
We'll all remember the faces, the tears and the cries.
We didn't all have to know him,
The story was just enough.
Enough to make us think,
Enough to make us realize.
Realize how truly lucky we all are.
And learn to truly cherish life.
