near 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 when they walked
and ran through the sand
but now her eyes 
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 began 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 man alive
when friends let friends 
drink and drive
