Jason Kirkwood Poems

Now here's a story everyone should know,
About a young boy growing up in the ghetto.

His father was murdered when the boy was just six,
Now he lives with his mom, who makes money turning trickS.
...

When we are young we are told 'don't let youth pass you by'
That before we know it life will pass 'in the blink of an eye'

As a child we are invincible, we live life day to day,
We don't care what tomorrow brings we only want to play.
...

Your roomate had called me late that night,
And told me that you were not feeling right,

I hopped in my car and made my way,
Not telling you I'd be there the next day,
...

I'm standing here looking down hoping to see you again,
I want you to know that you are, my oldest dear friend,

You've been with me through everything, the hard times and good,
But I never treated you, as nicely as I should.
...

I remember many years ago, when I was just a lad,
My biggest hero in my life, happened to be my dad.

I grew up with no siblings, in a happy home,
And daily as a child, I'd write a story and a poem.
