She watches, helpless, as her child's life is snuffed out like a candle.
The two evils outweighed the good;
The young boy's last breath was robbed last night while walking through their neighborhood.
Only thirteen, he had so much to live for;

I saw my friend's parents
And I gathered the strength;
I was so nervous, I thought I would faint.
Words were exchanged, they were so kind;
My dear friend, I longed to find.
Her mom began crying
As I approached the hidden...]]></description>
