Poetic Obituaries: Inside the funeral program was a poem

Daniel [Davis] wrote called "Why?"

[Danielle] Davis said her son wrote it for her two months ago. They had argued, and when he apologized he gave her the poem. She read her son's words:

"Why I gotta be the one that hurt you/ even though I'm the lil' man you gave birth to . . . I'm just a young man and time is a virtue/ Please understand that my heart hurt too."

from Rochester Democrat & Chronicle: Rochester shooting victim Daniel Davis 'in my heart,' says cousin
