Janie!!!

It was the night before the funeral and all through the city
everyone was torn, drowned in sorrowfully pity

upon the casket the roses lie
the poor little girl didnt deserve to die

there she sat all cradled in her car seat
when another car and hers were destined me meet

her momma slammed on the brake
fearing their lives were at stake

in the news the next day,
"due to a terrible car accident, a little girl will be buried today"

she was only three
the little girl and her mom where on their way to get their Christmas tree
all excited and bundled up tight
it was the day before her third Christmas night

instead of celebrating on Christmas day,
all who loved her came to pray

Christmas will never be the same,
without a little girl named Jane!!!

::dedicated to my cousin Janie who tragically died in a car accident on Christmas eve of 1998::
