I often wonder, will my life become like some, 'Just Another Life Wasted?' |
Just Another Life Wasted Talent? She had so much that it made your head swim, Beauty? Wherever she went, heads turned as she walked in Her future was brighter than the morning sun rays, So why oh why, was today her last day? She sang like a lark, danced with magical ease She went where she wished, did as she pleased No matter who she was with, they were captivated, So why was hers simply, just another life wasted Muscles? His were chiseled, head topped with blonde hair Athletic? In sports competition, none could compare He was soon to turn pro, dominate his field But in death his true weakness, was revealed He jumped higher than it seemed a man could leap He threw farther and ran faster, rewards were his to reap No matter who faced him, they were always bested So why was his, just another life wasted So many people leave this earth in their prime They die while so young, called before their time We are left here in sadness, many times in tears Wondering why this happens, so young in their years It is well known that greatness is achieved, By hard work and dedication that is hard to believe, When greatness is eliminated by dying so young, We are left thinking, of memories so far flung When my time is here, and I meet my maker, Will I be remembered as a point of anchor? Or someone who loved others, had little hatred, But never achieved his goal, and lived; just another life wasted Jim Dorrell 5/23/08 |
