Ice Cream, You Scream!
Little Marty woke up to a ray of beautiful sunshine.
“Mommy, can I have some Ice cream, chocolate would be fine.”
“Oh no,” Marty’s mom said, “maybe later today, if you’re a good boy,”
“We can go can go to Baskin Robbins,” and Marty’s heart filled with joy.
All day long, Marty did as he was told and didn’t fight with his sis.
He wasn’t going to take a chance and miss his ice cream bliss.
The day went very slowly for little Marty but he managed it just fine.
He made sure he was extremely good, so he could go and dine.
At last, the time had come for all of them to leave.
Marty was getting his ice cream cone, hard for him to believe.
He ran into Baskin Robbins as fast as his little legs could go.
He knew exactly what he wanted and told the lady so!
He found a vacant table and immediately sat down to eat.
That’s when it happened, while he held his yummy treat.
A drunken driver crashed through the wall, right where Marty sat.
Killing three year old little Marty and two others as they chat.
Marty’s hand still held his ice cream as tight as he possibly could.
For his Mommy promised it to him all day, if he was really good.
Please God, hold him on your lap and give him some
chocolate ice cream, for he was so very, very good.

Beautiful tribute.

Powerfully penned, God bless Marty's family. Tragic, what can happen when people don't take responsibility for their actions. One never knows. DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. PERIOD.
