Laying asleep at night dreaming,
Wishing every thing was perfectly true,
Waking up in the morning screaming,
Wanting to be saved only by you.
Tragedy hit so suddenly,
The only thing I could do was cry,
I need you to smile so lovingly,
How could God let some one like you die.
You were only four,
Me, I was just six,
You were out by the west shore,
I wish this could be fixed.
We got a call on a summer day,
It was my uncle, your daddy,
I didn't have a clue what to say,
Only "Wait Where's Maddy."
Then my daddy sat me down,
He told me to be brave,
I tried not to let him see me frown,
Shattered was the protection he gave.
I didn't know what to do,
The rest was just a blur,
All I could do was think about you,
You were in heaven I knew that for sure.
The funeral came,
I tried hard not to cry,
I thought I had lost another game,
Why on Earth did God let you die.
Maddy, I miss you,
I need you to come and visit,
I never got to say goodbye or I love you,
Please come back so I can say it.
Ten years have passes,
I am not the same child,
All the pain, Maddy, it still lasts,
From you I feel exiled.
*In loving memory of my cousin and my best friend, Madison Alexzandra Kindler. I love you and miss you so much, and hope to be with you in eternal glory!*
