When the future is yours
And tomorrow is full
Life's pains and realities
Are still left untold

The intensity of happiness
Blinds us to the dangers
That tomorrow may never come

Our existence is but a flash
In the realm of eternity
But those you've touched
Will always remember

Not a day will go by
For the young or the old
You will never be forgotten
But always missed
Some teenagers recently passed away in my hometown while swimming in a dangerous area.  Although I didn't know any of them personally, I know some that did and it has affected the community pretty heavily.  It happened in a place where I like to go hiking and I haven't been able to get it off of my mind.  I hope their families find some type of peace eventually.
