Just a Child

I was only two years old
                        with beautiful brown eyes and hair
                             I was just a tiny ole thing
                                   still needing care

                              I loved to run and play
                               learning new things
                            was everything I had to gain

                            My life was cut to short
                        for my mother wanted much more
                                 If you watch CNN
                        You should know then what happen

                                    If I knew that day
                                   I was in harms way
                           I would have never ran into
                                  my mommies arms

                        I was found after I turned only three
                           but the only thing left of me
                           was my skelton and bones

                            I guess my mommie has
                             what she wanted now
                                    a 8x8 room
                            with pretty steel doors

                        My life here is much better
                      It has clouds and blue skies
                      and the most beautiful Angels
                          that ever have I saw
