Date of Death

Plane crash,
Shattering glass,
It's that time of year.
Your family had a lot of fear.
When they found out,
That baby girl was dead.
They couldn't believe what the doctor said.
Rock the boat,
Stay afloat,
Drift up to heaven.
Was it eight or seven.
Lost members of family.
It really hurt me.
Lite a candle,
You're really missed.
Hold it up to the sky.
Send a kiss.
This comes once a year.
We remember you as you rest.
We are going to be grieving,
On your date of death.
