Former Beauty Queen


Former beauty queen,
dead at age six
Family and friends
gathered together for the Christmas holiday
Had a monster in their midst,
who spirited the child's innocent life away

Little Miss JonBenet,
as time moves on,
more and more people will forget
But you will always be remembered by me,
though I never met you
Beauty lives forever in the mind of God, the Most Holy

Hi Freddie, You have written a sad poem..What happened to little JonBenet was pure evil and something that will never be forgotten. You expressed that sentiment very well in this heartfelt piece- Alexis
