Smiling Down

Last night a life was taken away
"God you really should've let him stay
We know that you want him up there with you
But we need him as much as you do"
He filled our hearts with joy
He was just a young boy
With him our days were filled with laughter
And lots of happy ever afters
We know he's not coming back
Oh What I'd give to hear"Let me hit that Black"
John is someone we'll never forget
Atleast we know he had no regrets
As we have to lay him to rest
We'll have to ace a test 
A very hurtful pain 
Like tight gripping chains
We'll have to pull together
Then soon it'll all get better
No one can ever take his place
Just look up and see his smiling face
