• Near the door
    I paused to stand
    as I took his ring
    off his hand
    all who were watching
    did not speak
    as a silent tear
    ran down my cheek
    and in my mind
    the memories ran
    of the moments we walked
    and ran in the sand
    but now his eyes are very cold
    for I would never again
    have him to hold
    they watched in silence
    as I bent near
    and whispered the words
    I love you in his ear
    I touched his face and began to cry
    as I put his ring on
    and wanted to die
    just then the wind began to blow
    as they lowered his casket into the snow
    this is what happens
    to people alive
    when friends let friends
    drink and drive!
