Jerimy

When you think of someone dying,

You think of someone old.

You never tend to realize

The stories left untold.



Everyday after school,

You tell your friends "goodbye."

You say "I'll see you tomorrow."

Never thinking they could die.



Although some didn't know him,

Others knew him well.

Everyone loved Jerimy Brown.

It was obvious, you could tell.



Jerimy was athletic,

Part of a winning team.

2000 State Champions.

They fulfilled their dream.



Then the unthinkable happened.

Coming home one day,

Jerimy was in an accident

That took his life away.



The students came to school

Crying all day long.

They couldn't believe what happened.

Jerimy was gone.



The students at Sonora High

Learned this lesson taught.

Don't take things for granted,

Be happy with what you've got.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Jerimy was the first of four students of the class of 2001 who was killed. :(
