Sometimes A Life Is Taken Poem by David Boyce

Sometimes a life is taken

Sometimes a life is taken
Quicker than we think
One day you're full of laughter
And you're then gone in a blink

When you pass with friends around you
And there's nothing they can do
It's hard for all those left behind
And i'm looking down at you

The sadness and the shock
May hit you all one day
So please take the help that's given
And for me, please just pray

Throughout my life i've touched the hearts
Of many friends and staff
Remember all the good times had
Don't cry, please have a laugh

My family are all upset
Cos i'm not coming home tonight
Please pray for them aswell as me
To smother them with love and light
