Poetry: Ahead of his time

One summer day in 2003
Just like yesterday a memory
A young man died before his time
By crossing a car over the yellow line

It happened so fast without a clue
Tore up the hearts of those he knew
A day no one will ever forget
So much of life to live yet

He had so much time left on this earth
To learn, to laugh, more life to search
It happened so fast, like that hes gone
You wish so much, life could go on

Years later thoughts still come across you
We all cherish your life we knew
A part of the past, so much regret
One day we all will never forget

Who would have seen you in heaven so soon
Of loved ones missed you, your heart they crooned
Why God took you ahead of your time
Just before your life was prime

In all this tragedy, a lesson learned
How life can be gone, with one wrong turn
So be careful watch those yellow lines
And those lifes ended at wrong times

    I would see what he saw;
    the world so large before me,
    as his

    He came to me, ahead of his time
    And I knew we faced an uphill climb.
    Anything but hearty and hale,
    He was tiny, wrinkled,

    Ahead of His Time

    A hesitant step, a trembling hand
    A body frail, she can't command.
    But heart so big, a soul so true
    she waits

    Unplanned in the heat of passion
