Another Crossroads

Another cross laid upon the corner
Another road
Another life
Another of God's children
Another potential put to an end
Another "he was so young..."
Another loss
of a son
a brother
a friend
a teammate
Boy, you will be buried
with tears trailing down our faces
Smiles in fleeting moments of remembrances
for a young man
full of heart and joy, full of life
And every time we see that
pure white cross of heaven
we'll imagine your sweet beautiful face staring back at us
with golden eyes
worth all of God's adoration
and a crinkle eyed smile that says
Don't forget the past,
Don't miss me too much,
We'll see each other again,
But don't forget to live for the future
