Close to the door he paused to stand <br />as he took her class ring off her hand <br />all who were watching did not speak <br />as a silent tear ran down his cheek <br />and through his mind memories ran <br />of moments they walked and laughed in the sand but now <br />her eyes were so terribly cold <br />for he would never again have her to hold <br />they watched in silence as he bent near <br />and whispered the words, 'I Love You' in her ear <br />he touched her face and started to cry <br />as he put on his ring and wanted to die <br />and just then the wind began to blow <br />as they lowered her casket in the snow <br />this is what happens to a man alive <br />when friends let friends drink and drive <br /> <br />By: Author unknown<br /><br />Hali Curtis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/class-ring/
