Final Goodbye
Final Goodbye
 
 It was a happy day
 Then when she got home
 Heard the sirens going
 Saw the ambulance
 Going down the street
 Turned on the news
 It said there were gunshots
 Where her friend was
 It was a hit and run
 One boy beaten and shot
 Then the telephone rang
 She answered it
 The voice said
 I’m sorry
 But there’s been an accident
 She rushed to the hospital
 Ran into the building
 Went to the counter
 The lady said
 You're going to have to wait
 She took a seat
 Scared out of her mind
 She was praying
 That he would alright
 Out stepped a man
 He brought her turn her friend
 She sat down next to him
 She prayed with him
 Holding his hands in hers
 All of a sudden
 The boy said
 It’s my time to go
 The girl started crying
 Then she told him
 Not to talk like that
 She said
 You’re going to make it
 The boy looked down
 With a sad face
 Then she told him
 Not to give up
 Never let go
 The boy looked
 Straight into her eyes
 And said
 I'm sorry.
 She squeezed his hands
 Very tightly
 She laid her head upon his chest
 Then he brought her head up into her ear
 He gently whispered
 I love you
 Then she saw the flat line
 And heard
 A straight beep
 She kept holding
 His hands in hers
 And she cried
 Promising herself
 She would never forget him
 Then Under her breathe
 She said
  Her
 Final
 Goodbye

Story:
Boy was riding around his neighborhood on his bike. A few gang members jump him and beat him. When they started leaving, one turned around and shot him with a .45 caliber revolver. One other gang member yelled at him saying that wasn't part of the plan. They all ran away as the boy sat there dying and bleeding to death. He called out for help, but nobody came to help him. A few minutes later, the police and ambulance finally arrived and took the boy to the nearest hospital. The boy was barely conscious and with his little breath he told the doctors to call his friend, and respecting his last wishes, they did. She came when he was in surgery. She sat there waiting for a very long time. Finally, one of the surgeons came out and started talking to the girl. He said, "I'm sorry, we've done all we could. He has little time left. You should go and see him before it is too late."
The girl walked into his room, and there he was, having all the wires on him. He told her to come by him. She sat down, and they started talking. Shortly after, the boy passed away right as the sun started to set, and the girl started to cry.
