You couldn't fight,
You couldn't run away,
You couldn't get help until it was too late.
I don't understand how they did this to you,
I hate it that it's true.
Your face so bright, your soul so pure,
Yet all that pain you never should endure.
You were just a child,
Innocent and mild,
But nobody saved you and so you died.
I don't understand and it doesn't matter why,
Makes me want to cry.
I guess you believed that people were good,
That they would change the way they should.
I'm so damn sorry this happened to you,
Your life stolen when you were young and new,
Maybe you were too sweet for a world so cruel.
We'll never know the answers,
There is no reason why,
But now you are free like a bird in the sky.
Cruelty has no reasons,
And time keeps moving with each season,
But we'll never forget you, your beautiful face,
I know God holds you within His embrace.
(In memory of Sylvia Liken's who's life was taken far too early)
