A Boy So Young by Heaven

a boy so young,
so full of life,
was taken away,
by a simple gun crime,

this boy brought happiness,
into my life,
then left me with sorrow,
as soon as he died,

my memories are still here,
but with out you my eyes,
are never with tears,

you were so young,
only 16 years,
how can i go on with out you?
when to lose you was my worst fear,

we said we'd always be together,
and with god knowing this how could he take you away forever?

you should of stayed home,
instead of walking down the "gang road".
cause now that your gone,
i,your girl,is sad and alone....

this poem i wrote on thanksgiving.my boy friend at the time had not been over yet and he usually comes over around 5.but he hadn't came.i wasn't really all that worried about him.cause he was always out lately not spending time at home wit his family or me or any one but his lil gang friends.he said he was gonna get out soon.he promised me that.then a lil while later i heard a gun shot and he was shot about 5 blocks from my house.he died instantly.i still miss him very much.and i feel giulty every time i start to like another guy.cause i feel like if i had tried harder he would have gotten out of the gang sooner.but i guess it's to late now.i just hope he knows that i love and miss him every day.

Tears in my eyes
How's life Heaven? Sorry about the loss of your boyfriend.... Reading this poem made me weep a little, because no one likes it when a family member, or loved one dies.... And, at the age of 16 too. I know that must have been real difficult for you to cope after his death.... I wish there was some way for our loved ones to be reincarnated....
Sorry once again Heaven.
I hope you endure through your pain

Heaven,
this was sad..and difficult to read...i've seen that many times over the years. many drive-bys..sorry 'bout your loss dear...sometimes we all make bad choices in life and must pay the consequences life would be less complex if we made the choises for them as we do for the younger set....but then we learn from those ..for several years , the state and the courts appointed me w/many cases from time to time to proved a stable environment..when their lives were being threatened, (with our permission of course,this was always a family meeting thing my children and i always talked about it since they were the ones whom had to share life w/them too)it's a tough world to live in when your in a gang life.
i wrote a poem called "ATM" for (All That Matters )to the first ward of the court that was appointed to me they all touched my heart , the toughest were the ward of the states, not your average minor Joes..but i learned alot thru them too...there is still hope out there for many..so do not continue to blame yourself your missing out on your opportunity to happiness go forward..Terrie*
