Knock, Knock, Upon My Heart

Orange you glad I didn't say banana
Was her favorite knock, knock joke
Everytime I think of her
There's a lump now in my throat

She always seemed to tickle herself
As much as she tickled me
That funny little jokester
That too soon had to leave

Now she spends her time in heaven
Making angels laugh
Instead of saying banana
Orange you glad I said orange instead

Absolutely tragic Mike; I just wonder if the bus driver wasn't texting...

Thinking of those that lost their children in that tragic bus crash in Tennessee as my thoughts and prayers go out to them.
