Fallen Son

A piercing scream rushes into a mother's head
Startled and shaken, she sits up in her bed
She reassures herself that he's fine
It's not the place, and it's not his time
A young man of just eighteen
He couldn't have died, there was too much he hadn't seen
He hadn't experienced going to college
He was a good boy, with lots of knowledge
He hadn't experienced real love, or even a first kiss
He was unaware of such a passionate bliss
He was a very good looking boy, just a little shy
But over all, he was the perfect guy
Yet as the mother sat up reassuring herself that he was all right
Her son was screaming into the dark night
Pleading with God with no time to cry
In those few seconds, memories of his mother flew by
He said God if I don't make it, keep her safe for me
As he remembered the time she held him as he cried over a scraped knee
Help her stay financialy secure
But most of all, let her know how much I love her
And with that final thought his plane crashed into the ground
After those long seconds of spiraling around
Dennis was dead very soon after
But his mother would never forget the sound of his laughter
At the funeral, a weeping mother held onto the casket
Trembling, she just couldn't handle it
She asked him, I wonder if you knew
That on that night, I was thinking of you
I wonder if you thought of me
As she prayed on her knee
Little did she know as he lay losing the fight
She was the one memory he left the world with that night
