the day he died

the day was cold, but jakes smile was bright
i remember him keep asking, can i go out tonight
my heart told me no, but i could nt let him down
he had been studying hard, his books all around
he was only 18, he didnt get much time away
i knew he was smart, he worked hard all day
i woke up to the banging at the front door
i slowly walked down the stair, saw his mate paul
tears in his eyes, his body starting to shake
kept on repeating, iam sorry it was a mistake
i rushed to the hospital, to see jake on the bed
not long after i got there, my son was pronounced dead
i asked what had happened,and this is what they say
they went to a house party not far away
they all wanted to leave, 5 in the back
jake in the middle sitting on pauls lap
they rounded the corner, went on the wrong side
he turned the wheel the car started to slide
it kept on sliding into a pole that was the end
jake passed away, so did his friend
paul had said he didnt feel no pain,
the last works he spoke, were sorry mum iam to blame
he said i love you mum, as he closed his eyes
took his last breathe, i reached him just as he died
i thank the lord for the love he had shared
the memmories i will cherish, how much he cared
i hope one day, the pain might leave
but till that day i will always grieve..........
