Death In the Family

Everything was up to date Around the year 1998 Two days after valentines day You can think what you may A balloon of love hung in the car Everyone left with a scar Five shots fired The detectives were hired Three children left orphaned And only one man to blame Penny was hit one time in the back And three in the chest, what a shame Dwayne shot himself once in the chest He laid there and suffered with a hole in his vest He laid there in a pile of blood and bled But not till he put a towel over her head Everyone gathered to morne a her viewing Even Alma Snyder from Kentucky flew in I cried so hard at her grave site I wish she could have put up a fight People gathered from near and far They came in a truck, van, or car I forgive him but some people dont i understand why some people won't She's safe in God's hands now I don't know why or how We miss her more then ever We'll remember her face forever.
