Poem


I cannot find a rhyme or reason,
for why they chose to take you.
A beautifull girl with ambitions and dreams,
who was shot while sitting at school.

"She believed in God", they said
"and that is why she was shot."
"Shot for her belief in the Lord,"
"which by her killers was considered wrong."

Whatever reason you were shot for,
you did not die in vain.
Your spirit lives on in all of us,
and we gained alot of Faith.

Thank you for being the girl that you were,
for showing us all how to be.
We love you so very very much,
and we miss you more each day.
