A sunny summer morning A steamy August night Began with love and hopefulness And ended with shock and fright. As we awoke and we found out About the day before The shock set in, the grief began And we felt it more and more. The anger at those who caused this And at those who didn't care, Still felt by some, it hasn'nt stopped Because this isn't fair. How different would our world be Had this event not ocurred. The shock we never would have felt The crying never heard. If this rose hadn't faded If this rose hadn't died Would we still all be happy And would we not have cried? Or, had she lived, would things be worse Not for us, but for her? Her death horrific, yet merciful A blessing for the girl. We haven't quite figured it out But one day we will know Without a doubt we'll all find out And in our knowledge, grow. |

Excellent words. Sometimes we reflect more on our loss than their release. Well done. |
