Hope Women and Infant Hospital
A young woman gives birth
A babe cries and greets the earth
King Richard Elementary School
A child enrolls in K-5
Hope and faith so alive
Ragan Senior High School
No books today, skipped class
In the twilight zone, high on grass
First Christian Church
Passions soar, two hearts in love
Tied the knot before God above
Franklin County Courthouse
Out of anger came a divorce
Children overlooked… of course
City Assisted Care Facility
Cirrhosis of the liver takes its toll
Cannot walk or a wheelchair roll
Pleasant View Cemetery
Placed in a hole six-foot deep
Lies there alone, no one to weep
The Headstone read-
Too soon entered eternity's door
A wasted life ended at forty-four.
