There have been six so far
Who have made me become
One of the left behind
A teacher
Cancer fighter
I did not even know
Met once
Played at your funeral
And sobbed
Brian
A married man
Cancer fighter
Father of my friend
I’ve known since 1st grade
A heart of gold
Warrior until the very end
Jeff
A little girl
Who couldn’t breathe
In her sleep
Next door neighbor
When I babysat and you cried
I would hold you in my arms and sing
Tori
A young boy
Cancer fighter
Friend of my sister
Sweetest smile
And wanted to live
So badly
Colin
A teenage boy
Took his own life
Mutual friend
I didn’t always love
But never hated
Yet I couldn’t stop crying
Angelo
An old man
Cancer fighter
Beloved father to many
Believer in Christ
Missionary
Mentor
Ray
All have impacted me
In ways I cannot express
Through your lives and deaths
