On The Death Of Friends In Childhood
by Donald Justice
We shall not ever meet them
bearded in heaven
Nor sunning themselves among
the bald of hell;
If anywhere, in the deserted
schoolyard at twilight,
forming a ring, perhaps, or
joining hands
In games whose very names we
have forgotten.
Come memory, let us seek them
there in the shadows.
Chase Kowalski, Age 7
Hallelujah performed by K.D. Lang
