Too Young To Die

A poem by Jenni Smith

Let me say this say this once. Philip and Rory Were Cool kids. Kids don't deserve to end- They were too young to die.

They went rowing off Waterman's beach, and were supposed to be back by five.. I know I said I'd ay this once, But they were too young to die.

Eight came around; Rory's ma called the police- They began a search off Waterman's Beach. I know I said I'd only say this once, But they were too young to die.

Rory's Body was found early this morning. As of now Phil's nowhere to be found. I know said I'd only say this once, But they were too young to die.

Rory, Phil- you probably see us crying- Don't worry, because our tears mean we miss you and that you were too young to die.
