He Was So Young For One To Die

He was so young for one die and in such a painful way The teenage body surfer who died of shark bite in Northern New South Wales today Just sixteen years a decade from his prime his best years of him ahead The family are left to grieve when they bury their dead. Sharks they are innocent killers though not choosy what they eat They do not differentiate to them meat is just meat Yet sharks have a voracious appetite they must eat to stay alive And those who swim in their waters do need luck to survive. To achieve great things and grow old and gray for him not meant to be And to die the death that he did die perhaps his destiny Those who have survived a shark attack to say the least are rare And those who go surfing or swimming in the sea of danger should feel aware. He did not live to achieve great things and then grow old and gray We all fulfil our destiny as some are known to say He did die in a tragic way doing what he did enjoy In the sea near Ballina in New South Wales the teenage surf loving boy.
