On The Death Of Friends In Childhood


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
