Favorite Quote:
Leonardo Da Vinci
Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen, even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.


Tear drops fall,
Roses thrown to the ground.
Children screaming,
While no one else makes a sound.
All looking down to the casket on the grass,
Hearts ripped out, shattered like glass.
The men choke back
the tears they try to hide.
Everyone feels like
they've died inside.

One by one,
the roses thrown
scarlet red, velvet petals
each one has no clone
You hold back my mom,
as she screams my name.
For just 10 feet away,
lies the wooden frame.

It's time to let go
of your little baby.
Hold onto my things
so you'll never forget me.

All your wishes
hopes and dreams for me,
are gone in a second,
for eternity
Just know I'm in a better place,
Know that I can FLY,
Just wish I had the chance to say,
I love you.
This is my last Goodbye...
