Altar By the Curb

The Altar by the curb
Was No one to distrub
A request of Family and Friends
That in his honor had made Amends
More like a shrine, as they shed a tear
Decorating the Spot with empty Alcohol bottles, including beer
In rememberance of how He was here
Although, it looked like Time Square, upon the New year
With people gathering to celebrate the Life, he did live
Bringing more Memories, as the Salvation Army, at X-mas does give
Had I, such affection, ever to have seen
Over a guy, who as of June 3rd, was barely Eighteen
Routine ritual practices, taking place, Every single day
Because They never wanted him to go; At least, Not in this way
