April Night

by FireCracker   Sep 5, 2005


I heard the sirens wailing
All that bright flashing lights
I remember when I lost you
On that awful April night

With everyone there watching
Waiting with eagerness & in pain
So much riding on this one moment
Yet from it so much to gain

Most people crying
With tears rolling down my cheek
And that one unforgettable sound
Of you mother's loud shriek

Your family there
In total and complete shame
You were now gone and ..
Only themselves they would blame

My face began to get pale
As my eyes started swelling to form my ever tear
I wish I could bring you back
Because I so bas-tingly want you here

I could feel the bitterness
Yet the love from you all in the same
I felt so badly for your family
In such disbelief and shame

It was as if I was there that exact moment
When you passed away
And I thanked God for all the time we spent together, I thanked him for each day

Then while crying
As that one moment passed by
I got down on my knees
And prayed to God asking why?

I have a memory of you Kody, so close
Maybe close enough to touch it
But without you here
All the pieces don't quite fit

Those memories with you were so long ago
Taking place nonetheless still strong
But by taking you away
I feel on Gods part was wrong

    Maybeth I don't think I've ever felt someones pain as much as I did in this peice! First and foremost I missed your writing girl! It's been quite some time!
    Anyways, I am so dearly sorry about your friend Maybeth. They say it hurts so much loseing a family member but it hurts a lot loseing a friend as well. You should not blame God girl because he is up their rejoicing with him. I'm not sure why God takes peoples lives at young ages but everything happens for a reason and only God know why. Maybetj my heart is crushed because I can see you hurting and crying and I just wish I could give you a hug sweets and be there for you..at least know your in my prayers..this poem was amazing good job expressing the feelings!! Its great you turn to poetry its a wonderful gift!
    Love ya girl!
