A Prayer for Jimmy and Rick

Why take Jimmy and Rick, God

Why not let them live

They were just two young men, God

They had so much more to give

Why take them so soon, God

Time was all they needed

But through the gates of heaven, God

They were too soon greeted

Please watch over Richard, God

Just let him be okay

And please help him forget, God

What happened that horrible day

And please just help their families, God

They don't deserve this pain

This loss will forever sadden them, God

Why give them all this strain

And what about their friends, God

How were we supposed to know

Now inside our hearts, God

There are two more little holes

I just want you to know, God

What all our lives will lack

We want what is impossible, God

We want those two boys back

This is so sad, but at the same time it is written so well. The flow is amazing!! Don't ever lose faith in God, don't ever lose faith that it's His Will. Just remember everything happens for a reason, and I bet if you think real hard you'll find, how in some way, that this happening has made you a better and stronger person.
