Abdulhafeez Oyewole Poet Pantoum

In Her Teen

We know her future could be bright
If not for death that snatched her dream
She was the queen among her mates
The few she left here said it all

If not for death that snatched her dream
While on earth she nurtured the best
The few she left here said it all
A jewel worth many to pens

While on earth she nurtured the best
She was the queen of her mates
The few she left here said it all
We know her future could be bright

Timothy Hicks May 17, 2013 at 10:17 PM A great contender for the Dying Young contest... the first two lines are just heartbreaking. COULD be bright... but no longer. Beautiful, but tragic...
