September 1983
I’d just returned from a weekend Showing up at your place Full of joy and laughter Ready to be with you again When I heard that you were sick But I didn’t worry Later the family came back Crying Seems you were worse than they thought They all cried, I couldn’t I just sat and stared And wondered
Forgive me Ben, I just can’t cry Though I feel sad just the same Tears that should come now I’ll save till you’re gone But until then I’ll pray God lets you stay
In memory of Ben Prinzen 1966-1983 My cousin and a good friend.
I had been at a youth retreat looking forward to seeing Ben, and the whole family together again for the first time in years. When I got to the house there was no one waiting. Ben had been taken to Emergency. He died just two weeks later.
