From Tamika With Love

This poem was written by Zach's cousin Tamika. I am sure Zach is squeezing just a lil' tighter each day! May you find comfort and strength not only in the memories you shared with Zach, but in your family and friends around you too:) We love you girl!



WHY
Why'd you have to leave?
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd they let you take your drivers ed test in the snow?

I mean you left so quick, I didn't have a chance to say goodbye
now every time I think about you all I do is cry.

I miss you so much all I do is reminisce
times haven't been the same without you ever since

You died instantly not even ten seconds more and you were dead
I can still remember the exact words my mother said

She said "Mika he's gone he was in a car accident and died"
all night long I sat up in my bed laughed about times and cried.

The last time we were together we were in your room messing with people on the internet
I can still see you sitting there laughing at all the things I said to your friends
but now that I think about it you were not only my favorite cousin, but my best friend.

Tamika
