5:49 Time
5 years; 49 days
a long stretch can seem a short time
2 boys; 2 days
living was their crime
one was 10; the other 16
both ended with a terrible fate
1 less bed to make; 1 less dinner plate
100 more tears to shed
1000 more years to live
think not on them with sadness; dread
remember happiness loved to give
