She wakes up early to greet the sun
and stand in it’s warm morning light.
She closes her eyes to breath in the air,
and relishes it’s fresh, cool taste.
The taste of a spring rain is in the air,
and she smiles at the thought.
Off to school she walks that day,
with happiness and love in her heart.
A love for life, a love for love,
a love for every second of every day.
She feels the cool breeze flowing past her,
sweeping her hair behind her,
and making the branches sway.
Millions of thoughts race through her mind.
Of weekend plans, of summer days,
of friends who’ve gone and those who’ve stayed.
She arrives at school with happiness and love,
a love for life and a love for love,
a love for every second of every day.
She greets her friends,
she laughs and talks.
For what could be wrong this day?
Soon a shot is heard,
followed by screams and cries.
Her friends look upon her with looks of fear.
Slowly she touches her hand to the back of her head,
and fears the pain she feels.
She feels so weak,
so lost, so meek.
What’s happened to her life?
to her carefree days?
In an instant it’s done and gone.
A girl full of love,
a love for life, a love for love,
for every second of every day.
But another was filled with hatred,
for what reason? who can say.
But no reason can explain why
this young girls life did end this day.
For hate can have no reason,
there’s no excuse for what’s been done.
So many days, so much happiness,
so much living’s been taken from this girl,
in a single moment filled with hate.
So full of life, so full of love,
but gone in a single instant.
