This I wrote for a very close friend of mine when the most terrible of things happend to someone she knew.
A life was taken ,
in such a cruel way.
She was just a child still ,
never to see another day.
She must have been frightened ,
unable to scream.
Did she close her eyes tight ?,
and pray it was all a terrible dream.
A tragic loss of 1 so young ,
the cruelest way to go.
Her family and friends left to greif ,
dealing with the hurt of missing her so.
Another girl was also hurt ,
thank god with her life she got away.
The memory will always stay with her ,
haunting her every single day.
What kind of people can do this ?,
to harm the young and innocent.
Don't we have a right to feel safe ?,
and to banish all thats not decent.
