A bouquet of roses
found among the debris
they look fresh and fine
I took it home with me
In a vase near a dining table
The roses made me smile
But that night I had a bad dream
a girl in white wanting the bouquet returned
it gave me cold sweats,
I shivered down my spine
morning, I read in the news
she died in a car accident
on the day she turned sixteen...
put the bouquet back on her grave..
praying she is resting safe...
