The Girl Too Young


As you embark on your journey, To that world so far beyond, I think of you with sadness The girl too young. Your smile is glued to my mind When you would shout as you sang. Why did you go so soon? The girl too young. Only four months ago Your car was smashed. I went to see it, But it didn't look too bad. Not the look you'd expect From the monster car That took the life Of the girl too young. Her family's faces still fresh in my mind. Her mother had always been so very kind. Megan's life gone forever. The tears, still wet on my face. The memories of our childhood Of high school too, all but fade. Your dreams of college demolished. You'll always be known as The girl too young. No school, no work, no fun. Although your spirit is sure to be Roaming through the clouds, dancing in the sunlight Of Heaven, a Heaven made For the girl too young.

I wrote this right before graduating high school. After a girl in my class, whom I'd grown up with since kindergarten, passed away in a drinking and driving accident.
