(this poem was written for the family and friends of Lashay, age 9, and Ashlyn, age 7, who were struck and killed by a car while crossing the street on their way to Children’s Bible Study on September 15, 1999, in Bulter, Alabama)
She was a child
So young was she
Too young to die
So violently
We ask God why
This had to be
What good can come
From this tragedy
What was the reason
We may never know
And the healing process
It will be slow
In time this pain
We feel will dim
We’ll smile and know
She is with HIM
