Beauty from Ash

A mindless young dancer stuck in her world

Coming to college, costumes and curls

Happy go lucky with no heart break or pain

Leaping and bounding all on my brain

I met a sweet friend Katie Beth Carter

I wish I could hug her

one more time

even harder

One summer night alone she was driving

Journey to her destiny but her faith was always thriving

God took her back to his arms on that night

A tragedy indeed, but she still is a light

Beauty from ash

Came from that car crash

She taught me how to live through my days

Arms open wide singing with praise

Thankful for the time we all had

Thinking of her there’s no time to be sad

But then I knew it was the end

My childhood was gone just like my dear friend

But do not fret because I have grown

Like KB my childhood has flown

Away with the mindless young dancer

with no care in her head

tall stands a woman strong and wise instead

I have grown from the ache

Taking in every breath

And all I can thank

Is my sweet Katie Beth
