The Dark Day
And its pouring down rain.
My mom is sobbing in the back
We're all going insane.
How could this happen?
Nobody knows what to do
Yesterday he was talking
But today he just didn't come to.
We all knew there wasn't much time
Though we wished the doctors lied
But we didn't expect it to be this soon
Today my Grandfather died.
