Class Ring

Close to the door he paused to stand

as he took his class ring off her hand.

All who were watching did not speak, 

as a silent tear ran down his cheek

and through his mind the memories ran

of the moments they’d walked and laughed in the sand.

But now his eyes were so terribly cold

for he would never again have her to hold.

They watched in silence as he bent near

and whispered the words "I love you" in her ear.

He touched her face and started to cry

as he put on his ring and wanted to die.

And just then... the wind began to blow

as they lowered her casket into the snow.

This is what happens to men alive-

when friends let friends drink and drive.
