A Girl and Her Dish
In an old house
where no one dares to go
There sits a small dish
That gives off a small glow
A girl with no family
'Cept for an uncle and aunt
Ventures to this house
To get away from their rant
She climbs the stairs
Holding a bow
and she finds the small dish
Where the room seems to glow
It's old and it's cracked
It could be sold for cents
But to this girl, it's value,
Has endless expense
'Fore this was her dish
When she was young
She lived here its true
Her mom cooked and her dad sung...
This once was a happy home
Before the car crash
It tore their family apart
With an unsettling smash
And just like that
The parents were gone
With only their child alive
In the dim light of dawn
She now ties the bow
Around the small dish
Puts it back on the table
And makes a small wish
Her wish came true
And she was glad for that wish
But when it was hard
She thought of the dish
In an old house
Where no one dares to go
There sits a small dish
Tied in a soft satin bow
Its old and its cracked
Its cracked
It could be sold for cents
But to this girl, its value,
Has endless expense
