Josh Kern

I didn’t really know him,

But I understand all of your pain.

He was still so young

And had the whole world left to gain.

You never can be ready

For a loss of this size,

And it makes you watch

As the whole world cries.

How can you deal

With the death of a peer?

For it seems so hard

To hold back every tear.

You can’t just give it up

And simply forget

When your dreams are shattered,

And the whole world is upset.

We must move on

And yet always hold him dear.

For if you will do this,

He will always be here.
