Ok, I'm writing this story for school, about this 17 year old who's father is in Her Majesty's Navy and is fighting in the 2nd World War. His father dies and the son has to be the one to bring the news to his father's best friend, who's also special to him as well. My question here is what kind of thing would the friend say to the son? Something that would have actual meaning, being that this is his best friend who had just died as well. Please help.

would you ask where to sign up? How long would it take for you to decide? Would you say "hell no"? Why/why not?

An Angel’s Smile

She looked at him so weakly
With gloom in every breath
As tears poured from her eyes
She stared into the face of death

Little did she know,
Of all the things she never knew
All the times they never spent
All the memories made just for them two

She touched his hand gingerly,
Then his face, then his hair,
She turned away in silence
After laying a single white rose in despair

The memories made,
Now all gone to waste
All the time they spent
Now left a terrible taste

As she lie awake that night
All her tears now wet again
In her hand she held a gun
As she attempted to stop the insane

She let go one more single tear
And as it slipped away she shot
Now they both can be together
Though this way was never to be thought

Her mother now cries her tears,
As she holds her daughter one time more
Never again can she hear her pride and joy’s voice
Never again can she see her angel soar

As the casket is lowered
And buried in newly dug ground
Everyone drops a rose
And walks away without a sound

Yet her parents stay in silence
As they hold each other tight
An image appears dimly
Floating in the faint sunlight

They say an angel’s smile,
Is a blessing beyond ones count
For what her mother saw that evening
Could make believers out of ones so full of doubt

how should i or what are some of the things that i could say to start my one minute long oral presentation. i'm doing it on this poem:

'Sonnet 30'

Love is not all: It is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain,
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
and rise and sink and rise and sink again.
Love cannot fill the thickened lung with breath
Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
Yet many a man is making friends with death
even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
It well may be that in a difficult hour,
pinned down by need and moaning for release
or nagged by want past resolution's power,
I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
Or trade the memory of this night for food.
It may well be. I do not think I would.

-- Edna St. Vincent Millay

I look at you,
your soft eyes, your chickfluff hair.
You are just a child,
You cannot bear the blame.
Perhaps
You thought it wasn't important.
You did not understand why.
You meant well.
I want to defend you, to tell them
it was because you're so perfectly untouched.
But even if I make excuses into eternity,
(and God knows I would.)
The truth will remain,
Unblinking, logical:
One day you'll have to grow up.
If not now, when?

It's not my best but I'd still really appreciate any comments.
Thanks.
