Goodbye To An Austin Angel

She was headed off to college at 18 years old, News of the crash leaked out, and the mood turned cold. She was the best person you could ever know, When she danced with her team she put on a show. Recently in Ohio, I found this rock, With its angelic shape I found this cross-walk. In the crosswalk I found my old best friend, If only my heart could find a way to mend. As a young country singer once sang, “18 years have come and gone,” It’s hard at this point, it’s hard to move on, I guess it’s time to move down the line, I need a reassuring sign to ease my mind. Goodbye my friend, may heaven treat you well, In the past, I will no longer dwell. Hello my guardian angel, you are my eyes, For you are with God, and He is wise. Goodbye Tracie Lynn, you made people smile, I’ll be there for you after a while.
