Taken Too Soon
As I grow order around me I see.
The next generation of our family.
I love them all without any doubt.
But there's one that was special that
always stood out.
.
He was my cousin named Mitchell
O'Dell.
And all of our lives changed the day
that he fell.
Life is short or so they say.
But never so short as the day he
went away.
A loving and gentle, wonderful son.
Just beginning lifes journey at age
twwnty-one.
Handsome and smart with his own
sense of style.
How we wish he was still with us if
even just for awhile.
A young man's whose presence
would light up the room.
A young man whose life was taken
too soon.
Some will say "it's. What God has
planned."
They can say what they want, I still
don't understand.
It makes no sense and I ask myself
why?
What good comes if any when young
people die?
Maybe to love more in some kind of
way.
To treasure our lives and be thankful
each day.
When I look up at stars when they
come out at night
I pretend that one of them is him,
shinning ever so bright.
But still as I look up, just past the
moon.
It still breaks my heart that he was taken
too soon.
