Only the Good Die Young.
Every school year at least one student dies, sadly enough. I may have not known Ben like how the cheerleaders and most juniors did. At the Pep Rallies he was so awesome do his back handsprings up and down the gym. I do know one thing and that is that he was a happy person, always smiling when I saw him and making other people laugh by being dorky. Those are the type of people we need here on Earth nowadays, but God has taken one away and many in the past and many in the future.
All my apologies go out to Ben's family. He'll always be around you still loving you as much as he can.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
You get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
For a smile, a hug, or a kiss [[ I love all of you ]]
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.

Rest In Peace

They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
Sinners are much more fun...
And only the good die young
