One stupid mistake

They said there is no chance
that there is too much swelling in his head
said he is not fighting anymore
that soon he will be dead

he lays on that bed
machines keeping him alive
why we pray to god
that somehow he will survive

he is only seventeen
it just is not fair
we all feel so helpless
and he does not even know we are there

hes laughter lights a room
and his smile and handsome face
and we all remember the good times
and know he could never be replaced

the pain hurts so much
so many lives shattered in one night
but he is so brave and strong
and will not go without a fight..

In loving memory of Steven James Duncan Age 17... (Stevo)
