Poem
A beautiful human being, Lost her life, and no one seems to know why If only her silence could be broken, If only her Soul would wander around and deliver the untold The story no one could tell, The truth about what happened, Someday will be revealed Classification and separation, Is what we often feel Taken so violently, Bared the brutal pain, An innocence loss, Is what she became No matter the shape or life that she led, She didn't deserve the death she was fed I feel for the mother, The loss of her child, Can be filled with no other ,The father and sister Aunt,cousins and family will remember Tyisha, All the good memories Tyisha? Do you remember the silly arguments, We used to always have Sitting around our desks in our elementary class, You were mad at me and I was mad at you Because we had some much in common, And yet we hated to You carried my birthday, I carried your age, You carried my year, I carried your first name You were like me, as I was like you, But Tyisha Tyisha, you were taken to soon We had our differences, We went our separate ways, But still I remember you, Just like it was yesterday You carried my first name, As I carried yours, I carried a tone, Much lighter than you But still you were taken, To soon To soon, A home you found in heaven With our lord, Jesus Christ, So sad you had to leave this world And join another life, Nine years had gone by, Before I'd seen your face, And when that day had finally come, It was on the newspaper page I couldn't believe it was true, So much sadness I felt for you I know it wasn't right, A shameful breach of trust, Your life was taken so quickly but the memories nobody can touch From this day forward, Just trust and believe, For the Master will surely supply all your needs Tyisha don't worry, You're safe and your sound, No longer are you burdened , No longer are you bound Tyisha, Tyisha, Please remember me, I'll see you again, Rest in peace, Rest in peace (December 1998) (By Tyesha Ehigiator) (Aka Tyesha Miles) (An Old classmate)
