Candle in the Dark

Last night there was a car accident and someone I know died. This is for her.

**********

You don't know what you have

Until it is gone

How true that is.

We all lost her last night

Like a candle in the dark

Overwhelmed by the tide

I didn't know her well,

But she had a smile like the sun

And when she laughed,

The whole world couldn't help

But laugh along with her.

The wrong tone in the orchestra

"That's me." she'd say "I can't play."

But she could

And she did

Leading us all

One note at a time

Through a cacophony of sound

To the harmonious finale.

We lost her last night

She was in the wrong place at the wrong time

As a drugged up driver

Took out three parked cars

And one pedestrian.

That was her.

Because of one stupid man

Her bright candle flame vanished forever.

He snuffed it out In front of her father's eyes

And so she vanished from our sight
