Beautiful blue eyes
Great wide smile
That smile you were never without
A short life, ending tragically
To the sound of screeching tires
And crunching metal
What has it been now?
Two weeks?
And still I miss you
But I can just see you now
Standing in God's glory
Smiling again, with enormous wings
~In Memory: Marcus Patrick Allan Manny 1985-2009~

And it sucks. Right now I don't care. I miss Marcus.

Wow..I love these lines! I'm so sorry about Marcus :-( It must be so difficult. This is a beautiful piece and I can feel the sadness here
Thanks for the entry!! -

Thanks. It hasn't been easy, but it helps to know that he's with God now.

hey....the contest just closed, so I thought I should let you know in case you wanted to get started with this :-)
Also, since you didn't specify which title you were using, there are basically only two left - Fire in the Sky, and Enormous Wings. You can use another one if you really want, but I'd prefer it if you'd use these two, just to keep things evenly distributed :-)
