Tragedy At Nightfall Poem by Kerri Foxx

Tragedy At Nightfall



They say life is wonderful, a chance to make it to Heaven
But it's not all good
I think it's more of a curse than a blessing
My life has been harsh, not very relaxing
I've been in wars, barely made it
I loved my job and retied on later
Decided to teach others how they can make it
This world needs more leaders
A program I joined helps with that
And despite some problems at home, it kept my mind intact

Everything was going quite fine
I may have even thought my life was nearly divine
But everything changed one day I came home
My wife and child, my life was gone
I loved them both, couldn't live without them
But their things were gone and now my wife and kid
I have no one to live my life with
My heart tore into pieces, my life in ruins

I had nothing else in life worth doing
So I took my own life, hoping it was better on the other side
And as the life fade from my eyes, I felt my soul rise
Slowly the seconds ticked by but before I completely left
I remembered the Heavens, my last word 'Amen.'
