Perfect autumn day The red leaves And orange specks Adam was only ten Placing the apple carefully On the top of his head He stood underneath a tree "Dont be scared,trust me." His friend said And picked up the bow and arrow Adam squeezed his eyes And then opened it again He saw the arrow being pulled And suddenly all he could see Were the images of his sister And the days he spent with his friend Playing ball Climbing the fences The way his mother kissed him on the forehead Her lavender smell wafting through the house The report card he got just yesterday How proud his father would be Looking down from above "1..." How he never got to kiss Sadie And dry her tears "2..." How in about 3 days his baby brother Jordan would be born "3." And how in that last second He saw himself next to his father And gave one last smile As the world was shut off From the soulless eyes The arrow struck Straight in the middle of his forehead
