In Memory of a
Friend
By:
Josh Locke
Four
years ago, I began a new life,
One that has brought much joy and much strife.
Over these years, I have seen many things,
But none as incredible as the grief that death
brings.
It was
in my second year of high school, when my friend
passed away,
And I still think about him each and every day.
His presence and his laughter are things that I
remember,
His compassion and grace are things that will last
forever.
It was
on that fateful day of June 13, 1999,
My whole world went into a tragic decline.
I would ask myself how could God take such a
wonderful child from this earth,
Only sixteen short years after his birth.
The
week following his death,
Brought much sadness and much unrest.
As his classmates were crying,
Over such a young friend’s dying.
He was
a hero and a friend,
A person always with a helping hand to lend.
Which makes this poem suitable,
To describe such a wonderful man like Drew
Rubel.
