HER VOICE

Her voice
Was no longer a child's
How could it be?
Seventeen years had passed 
Now it's a sultry message
On my answering machine
And I'm only a stranger
Who left her crying
By a white limousine
Holding a pink rose
Which was all we had left
Besides the memory

It was written for the sister of a woman I knew that died.
