On the Wings of an Angel

I don't know how it happened,
All I hear are lies.
I don't know how it happened,
Somebody please tell me why.

It wasn't too long ago,
The last time that I saw her.
It wasn't too long ago,
We laughed without a bother.

All I can say is,
Why'd it have to be her?
All I can say is,
Are you absolutely sure?

And now she has gone,
I know not to h e l l.
And now she has gone,
On the wings of an angel.

This poem is about my 13 y/o cousin who was hit by car while standing on the side of the road with her bike. She was truly an angel, so this poem is dedicated to her. Please check out her website www.jinasgym.org. Jina Haslam Feb. 2, 1991 - Jun. 20, 2005
