The death of a child
is not a solemn event
it's an event of crying
of shrieking
and weeping

Teenagers mourn for their lost friend
mothers stand and lay them to rest.
The unthinkable has happened
no words to describe
when a teenager dies
the world herself cries

Nothing to say
no words or prayer
nothing to hear this sad time around
her life will be celebrated
her death will be mourned
But still the hole lingers
where her bright life once shone

Among the living will her memories stay
her life of joy and inkblot in everyone's history.
She lived as one should
a child and a girl
carefree and loved
She roamed all the world.

And now she is dead.
And there are no words.
But teenagers crying,
And parents doing the worst.
