Birthday party bouncing on the trampoline,
Missy plays with Lori and Aunt Maureen,
Bobby unwraps his toys,
he's afraid to cry,
he see's the truth in his mother's eye,
Carissa's not coming home tonight,
she flew away to heaven,
she's gonna be alright,
but please dont tell on me,
i forgot to pray for her,
it's all my fault,

Why didn't he take me,
instead of that little girl?
as the box is lowered in the ground, tears everywhere and flowers all around,
Bobby still dreams about the stitches on her chest,
nothing they could do for her,
but they tried their best,
and please dont tell on me,
i forgot to pray for her,
its all my fault

Damned that he didnt take me instead of that little girl on August fourth,
please mommy dont cry,
its gonna be alright,
dry your eyes,
first time i saw my daddy cry,
was when my sister died,
So please dont tell on me,
i forgot to pray for her,
you could have punished me instead of that little girl,
you took alot away,
you took alot away.

That is one of the best poems I ever read. It is so sad, I read it to my little sister and she started to cry. You have so much talent and I love to read your work. Please write more soon.
