Have You Heard

by

Roy Wayne Crouch

Today at your grave-side,
I remembered those words.
The call that changed forever,
Hey, have you heard.

Johnny shot Carol!
As she tried to run away.
Her death was within seconds,
I still recall that day.

I set now by your grave side,
And speak, as though you hear.

Wishing I could hold you,
To me you were so dear.

You know that I loved you,
As I waited for a dance.
First Billy, then Johnny,
I never got my chance.

I always thought that someday,
You would come back to me.
My love that was forever,
Lost, to tragedy.

I wipe the tears and walk away,
The haunting of those words.
The words that changed forever.
Hey, have you heard.
