The Class Ring
by Bereaved Sibling, Author Unknown

Next to the door he paused to stand,
as he removed the class ring from her hand.

Those who watched could not speak,
as they saw the tears flow down his cheek.

They watched in awe and awkward fear,
when he whispered "I love you" in her ear.

With the ring on his finger, he kissed her goodbye,
then turned away and began to cry.

The doorway swung open to let the wind blow,
as they carried the casket into the snow.
