New Shoes Death

Death came to see me today

It came so quickly

I had no time to say goodbye

I asked why now?

I'm young but I guess this is the plan

The man just pulled that trigger

Did he see me there?

I see mom looking down at me

Wish I could wipe her tears

 

I'm ready for school my ponytails are perfect

With my new shoes on I can't wait to show them to Julie

Standing in the front yard picking at the grass

I can see mom in the kitchen

Happens so fast one of my new shoes is flying off

I'm up in the air being pulled

It smells funny in here this man is rough

Death came to see me today

I had no time to say goodbye

That man seen me there
