Number 4

I really do not understand, how this came to be
One day she is living here, her smile we all see
Running to first base, after the pitcher deals
I can still hear her father yelling "come on Maggie use those wheels!"
Win, lose, or having been no-hit
There was always a smile upon her face
She can really teach me how to lose with grace
When asked to describe her, one thing comes to mind
Maggie really, truly was extraordinarily kind
Taking over the softball trip was such a big endeavor
You know what, she really was the nicest person ever.
Although it has been three months, it's still hard to believe she is not here
But then I remember her smile and know that she is near
When I think of her family, I get extremely sad
She was the highlight of her family's lives, especially her dad
Maggie was always so happy, and I always wondered why
I would sit there and think, is she just putting on a lie?
But now I know, why Maggie always did shine
She lived out an entire life of happiness in such a short amount of time
Gone so young, it isn't fair, her time has not yet come
Hearing her laughter, seeing her smile, I feel myself go numb
I know that there is a good reason, why this tragedy had to be
But for now, that reason is not something I can see!
I guess for now, I will visit you in my dreams
Seeing you in real life, yesterday it seems
Although I know not where she went, or why she had to go
I do know that she is flashing her smile, because she is a pro
Regardless of how this came to be and what we are going through
I hope that wherever Maggie is she is still happy and true.
