“I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying.” ~ Charlie Chaplin

What once was the best day of our lives is now just a date etched on your headstone to remind anyone that happens to pass by, that you once lived, and that you died at age eleven.

Today you’d be sixteen.

"So take heed, take heed of the western wind

                                          Take heed of the stormy weather

  And yes, there's something you can send back to me

  Spanish boots of Spanish leather.”
