Guess what,
another realization today,
I'm lucky to be alive,
and lucky that you are too,
lucky to have met you,
and lucky to share the love that we do.

The author's comments:
I made this poem in response to the loss of four teenagers. One a friend, another i had classes with him since 7the grade, and two i did not really know of; but it made me realize life can be taken away from us at any moment, and we may never have the chance to tell those dear to us how much we love them.
