Heather

In all the world
There was a girl
Her eyes were deep blue
Her hair was golden yellow
Her voice was beautiful as an angel’s
I reminisce about Rock-a-Bye Baby in the cradle

As she got older she put away
Her dolls she loved so much.
She learned more about the world,
The internet and boys and such.
A few even had a crush.

She had the wildest imagination,
And she had things hidden away in her psyche
She was troubled by the separation
But, she always had friends, she was unique
But even still she was mistreated by some
She wanted to be a singer, a musician, and an actress someday
And we were planning on moving to California somehow.

Then we moved to a new house,
That was bigger and better with a pool.
The downside was she had to start going to a new school
She was making new friends and taking in her new classes
She was meeting friends at the football games,
And planning on her costume for a Halloween Party.

Then one day, She left for school and backtracked
To the shortcut she had recently learned about.
She lost her life that cold day,
The train had knocked her off the trestle in a bad way.
Although, I know she is in Heaven
I will always cherish the time I was given.
I will hold on to the fact that I will see her when it is time.
But for now, her memory lives in my heart and mind.


Written with love,
Mom
