Precious Benita
Precious Benita
She told me you were gone
Gone, Gone where
She said you had passed
Oh bright sunny, woman
Full of energy,
Flaxen golden air
Great beauty of european flair
How could you not be here
We three girls had lots of fun
tears and fears
Oh could you not want to stay
Life can be painful and dark
I do not know what took place
Your reality must have been black
and stark
I can put myself in your space
Such a shock to hear you left
such a tragic way to go
I will remember a girl, bright, flaxen hair
with such joy
Dear Benita
