THE DROWNING ( INSPIRED BY LARRY RAN STORY CALLED REMMBERING STEVE

THE DROWNING ( INSPIRED BY LARRY RAN STORY CALLED REMMBERING STEVE

When I was 9 I had friend who was 8 one day my friend went next door in the back yard thay had boat
Well my friend got in the boat and started to play then in he fell overbord and drowned I remember the day very
Well some other friends came to my door and ask if I had seen him and I said no so thay said will go with use
to look for him I said yes we look all over the neighborhood we didn't find him as we went back to his house
the police and most of the neighborhood was there thay had found him under the boat dead his mother was
screaming and crying this was the frist time I faced death it was hard to deal with I couldn sleep I had nightmares
for weeks and mouths never got over it after that day I never leared to how swim and always been afraid of water
never to get in a pool or the ocean I may never get over that day

I nearly drowned when I was 9 in a public swimming baths that I disobeyed my mum and went on a bus 15 miles away to go swimming when I couldnt swim.. Luckily self preservance kicked in and I heard a voice that stopped me sinking in the deep end.. After thatt I forced myself into water though I hate the dtuff in my mouth . How  people do the crawl face dowm I cant do that.. Water and kids.. You have to conquer or avoid... Poor little boy.. A friend in school drownd in a local lake the year we finished school, I walk there with my dog and think of that boy.. Sad syory Greg.. It stays with us..

Dear Greg,

Imagine the hurt of this nine year old lad
A nightmare that ever makes him so sad
For his friend who was eight, one day in a pool
Played in a large boat, he thought was so cool

.
No one was there, when over it flipped
And under the water, his dearest friend dipped
They found him that day, lifeless body submerged
A horrible memory, to this day unpurged

Love,
Larry xxx
