Goodnight Parents..

This is my letter..
My letter to you..
Mum and dad..
Do you miss me too..

My bodies low down..
I saw it descend..
I saw the tears..
From the people i depend..

Why did it happen..
that stray cross fire..
why didn\'t they miss..
Aim a little higher..

People on the streets..
Have no sense of life..
They only concentrate..
On the battle and strife..

As i started to fall..
I realized it\'s over..
That\'s my life done..
That stray bullet from that red rover..

Mum i\'m sorry..
For the things i did..
I\'ll say sorry now..
As the paramedic closes each lid..

Tell the rest i died happy..
that i didn\'t feel the pain..
Tell them it was over..
Before i had to strain..

My weakness shouldn\'t show..
Through these letters words..
even though my life..
Will be spent high with the birds.

So goodnight mum..
Goodnight dad..
It was nice knowing you..
In the 14 years we had.

This is in memory of Someone from my school.. who was shot dead by a hit and run.
1988-2002
