You were one of those boys
Who I'd known since I was 4,
And who got confirmed in the
Christian faith
Six weeks ago.
One of those boys
Who joked around in class
In a way that made the tescher smile.
One of those boys
Who I was happy to have in my squad
For gym
Because I knew we would win
Team Handball.
He was a guy
Who was completely comfortable
If I referanced second grade,
Even if my memory
Embarrassed him.
Someone who was so happy
To go to highschool
And be on the football team,
And who had already made friends
With all the players.
And he was one of those boys
Who we all knew
Would be the one to score the winning goal.
I thought that he would always be there.
Because boys like Bennett Rill are rare.
R.I.P. Bennett James Rill, 1998-2013. We started off eighth grade with a death and ended the year with one. Bennett was electrocuted on the last day of school while reaching to catch his friend Luke when he fell off the roof of Fox Mill Elementary.
I hope theres football in heaven ❤❤❤❤❤
