The sun was out, another beautiful day
Thinking back I wish it'd stayed that way.
One phone call and that changed it all
My beautiful day was turning to gray.
We never met or shared a glance
Mainly because I never had a chance.
But when you came and I heard your name
My soul lept up and started to dance.
Now we're standing here cold
So lost and alone.
Why was God so quick
To take you from here to His home?
Lorelei.. dearest Lorelei.
This is something that wrote down after being a pallbearer for funeral of my friends Justin and Ashley's daughter. She was born premature and despite doing extremely well in the NCIU, I received a call while I was home on R&R that something had happened and just like that she was gone. I hurt for my friends whom I love and for the miraculous life that was lost to all of us.

That's beautiful Kevin. I didn't know you wrote poetry.
