Four Young Girls

                                                                          FOUR YOUNG GIRLS

Four young girls sleeping

Lying side by side

Close enough to hold hands

If their arms were stretched out wide

Oh so still and peaceful

Staring at the stars above

All forever joined together

In a bond of purest love

Four cold blocks of marble

With a story of their live's

Saying children now forever

Never to become mothers or wife's

A single rose in each urn

A few inches from their head

They are a silent tribute

To each girl who now lies dead

Grass above so neatly trimmed

It's no more than they deserve

All tended by four families

Their sentence they must serve

They were too young to die

That's what everyone did say

Taken by a speeding car

On that god forsaken day

If they had only knew

What would happen as they walked

But they were just full of fun

As they laughed and talked

The driver said he never saw them

As they stepped out in the road

No matter how hard he braked

He couldn't halt his heavy load

It was over in a second

Four girls lay on the ground

All lives ended in a flash

They never made a sound

But now they are together

And will forever be

All playing up in heaven

To be young eternally
