A Wonderful Life

by Kevin A. Friduss - Scorpio

A Wonderful Life  dedicated to Solema Beltran, my friend.

It was turning out to be an easy going wonderful day
The sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky
I walked into school thinking to myself, how wonderful it is to have friends
I talked to a few people and said hi to my teachers
I walked into my homeroom and sat down in my usual seat, in the back of the room next to my best friends.  The teacher walked in and everything seemed nice until about twenty minutes later, when we didn’t see our friend, Solema walk in.
The schools principle came into our room
She told our teacher something
No words came out of our teacher’s mouth
The worst had come
Our teacher began to shed her first tears we’ve ever seen
We began to ask what was wrong and then it hit
She had passed away….
The feelings of death of a friend can be so bad that you never would want to talk about it again, until this day.
Some things they say are meant to be
And some things just aren’t
But I do know that Solema lived a wonderful life
Feelings of dread came over my body
And made every muscle tighten
She was gone
I cried a little because I couldn’t handle my friends seeing me cry
I remembered the times we shared together 
Life can treat you differently sometimes
She was a very special human being and will never be forgotten in my heart.

Reason for writing:

    A thought raced through my mind during my sleep and I remembered how good it feels to have a friend and how bad it is to lose one.
