About the Poem

This is a poem in memory of Nikki who was killed in a car accident on 4/24/99. She was a good friend of mine and I want her memory to live on. The car accident was preventable, but the driver was going about 70 mph on Suicide Hill.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your poem is beautiful & has so much meaning. Especially at this time. My 17 year old daughter has just lost her best friend to a preventable car crash. Where the driver was also doing 70mph in a 30 mph zone, & turned off his lights to try to out run the police. Instead he killed poor Sarah, & we miss he ever so much. Thank you.

Gone So Soon

You took chances
Once too many times.
As a child you thought -
"Oh no, never me."
Life is a gift,
Given and taken at some
Unknown time.
Your time came too soon -
Your life was over in a flash.
The fun you shared,
The joy you brought,
All just a memory -
Behind us.

It will be a year ago April 13th that I lost a very good friend. He was 21. He died in a car accident. He had no chance of survival, he died on impact. He was the person that I could count on to keep my secrets and he always told me that he would take them to the grave. I just never thought that it would be as soon as it was. In memory of Travis Mayse I love ya!

I had a friend who wrecked his car like 5 years ago. This poem is oh so true. He never thought being young would get him in that much trouble

This poem is amazing! I like this because I lost the love of my life and my best friend on 10/30/05! JOSH I LOVE YOU BABY! I also lost 3 other guys along with him in that car accident, they had stolen a car and the driver ran them into two trees and left them there to die. He is still alive and jus knowing this makes me sooo angry. But I think everyone should read this poem and think about the choices that they make! Josh. even though I can't touch you or you're not here for me to see you're NEVER truly gone. You're always in my heart! I love you soooo much!

I LOVE YOU DAZMAN! R. I. P BABY!
