His mother kneels beside him
Devastation in her eyes
She begins to cradle her baby boy’s head
As he lets out painful cries
There is blood on the ground everywhere
The sirens squealing loud
As she raises up her head
There starts to form a crowd
Her son just stares right in her eyes
His lips start turning blue
His last words come out so shaken
But he starts with “I Love You�
“I can feel the bullet in my chest mom�
“It hurts so bad� he cries
“I am so sorry mom� he says
“But please don’t let me die�
“I should have been good and listened to you mom�
“You said that these gangs were all bad�
“And I know I’ve upset you a thousand times mom,�
“I’m sorry if I made you mad�
I don’t know why they shot me mom�
“I thought they were my friends�
“I only ran some drugs for them mom�
“And now my life is gonna end�
“I must have been so stupid mom�
“To think that being 13 made me all grown�
“I just wanted to let you know mom�
“You raised me so well on your own�
Her tears fall hard as they roll from her eyes
And she struggles with what to say
“Hush my baby don’t cry anymore�
“Everything will be okay�
“But everything’s turning grey to me mom�
“I’m finding it real hard to see�
“I just want to say thank you to you mom�
“That you’re staying here with me�
His mother just stays there looking back at him
As her worst fears are realized
Her baby boy of just 13 years
Is not going to survive
“You’ll be okay my baby boy�
“Don’t worry about your sight�
“The doctors will fix you up good baby boy�
You’re going to be alright�
Her baby reaches and touches her face
And then grabs a hold of her hand
She can feel that her baby is sipping away
It’s to hard to understand�
She can see the frightened look on his face
But doesn’t know what to do
How can she possibly make him feel safe?
When her worse fears are all coming true
She kisses his forehead, tears roll off her cheeks
And he says� Please mommy don’t cry�
“I’m sorry for being so bad to you mom�
“And I think mom that I’m gonna die�
“God Take me instead� She pleads in her thoughts
“You can’t take him away�
“He has an entire life left to live�
“Don’t send him to his grave�
“I love you my baby and I always will�
She replies being strong although sad
“Having you has bought me so much joy�
“And know you’re a good boy not bad�
His grip on her had starts to become week
As her baby takes his last breath
With his last emotion he smiles at her
She smiles back trying her best
She still remains cradling her babies head
As she uncontrollably cries
Still praying to god to bring her baby back
To give life back to him where he lies
There is still blood all over the ground everywhere
The sirens have stopped squealing loud
Slowly she decides to raises up her head
And starts screaming to the entire crowd
“Look at what they have done to my boy�
“Just look at what they have did�
“They have ripped his whole future away from my boy�
“This could happen to one of your kids�
As she stands and looks around the crowd
Not one person has a dry eye
Her heart remains in 1000 pieces
And she wishes that she could die
Some months have passed since that tragic day
And she remains broken no doubt
When she was asked of the highlight of their time together
In a weird way her answer came out
“It wasn’t his birth or first time he talked�
“And he knew I loved him� she replies
“As a mother the highlight of my life was knowing
“I was last thing he saw in his eyes"
