She came to me
With tears in her eyes
I asked, for what reason
Do you cry
She said last night
My heart was broken
Through her tears
Words were hardly spoken
She said the boy
That she loved
Was taken away
By the Lord above
He chose to drink
Then, drive a car
Unfortunately he didn't
Get very far
He lost control
Then hit a tree
Self-destruction
He couldn't flee
I said to her in a whisper
The Lord didn't take him away
He chose his own path to take
On that sad and fateful day

I would like to translate this poem
Consequences. That inescapable fact of life. A poignant poem of sad truth, well-written.
