Shelly Cole

A bright Texas sun Beat down upon this day In the middle few should know A teenage soul should stray Stolen by a thief With no apparent motivation This man offered No explanation A mighty blast filled the air She had wronged none All of a sudden Her life was undone Now robbed of her life She shall carry on With the pull of a trigger She was forever gone Yet carry on she shall Carry on Shelly Cole For your passing was Out of your control Happy you shall be In the heavens above Wings you shall have Like that of a dove Your beauty lives on Long past your breath It was near devastating When informed of your death Shelly, O Shelly What has been done? For your eyes where brighter Than that of the sun Though your body lies motionless On that of the floor Your soul shall undoubtedly Live evermore Carry on Shelly Carry on
