There was a girl who wanted to sing
to hear her voice from on stage ring
a pure, sweet, innocent child
with calm green eyes and a heart still wild

she had a voice, soft as the wind
sheer talent, straight from within
she was only sixteen, still just a kid
yet contractors, for her voice bid

she finally got her chance one night
an audition, on stage, she felt no fright
she won it easy, clean and clear
they signed her up, then and there

driving home, feeling elated,
no one knew what was fated,
a terrible tragedy happened that night
death struck out with all its might

it claimed another innocent
so much future left unspent
her family, torn with pain
a quiet funeral in the rain

yet shes not gone, no way no how
she simply an angel, with god now
the angel with the most beautiful voice
we hear her sing, and we rejoice

shes gone from us but still she sings
no stage, but her voice rings
in our lives and in our hearts,
where one joy ends, another starts

But the ending was up-lifting and joyous!

My 12 year old daughter selected your poem as one she wanted me to read to her.  I cannot begin to tell you how much this moved her.  It is so difficult to see a young life taken.  I am a substitute teacher at 2 high schools, and I have seen the greatness of our youth.  It is the most uplifting experience to be in the classroom with talented, intelligent youngsters.  I think they teach me more than I could ever teach them.  Thank you for your beautiful words.
