Prairie Princess Song For Jodi
God has made us, one and all.
But some seem to answer a special call.
Angels to bring us peace and joy.
Who bring smiles to the faces of every little girl and boy.
Fate is a fickle friend.
Theres no telling what it will bring us in the end.
I belive theres a reason for everything that comes.
Why some become kings and others become bums.
Thats my only solace when I think of this wrong.
It's the very reason for the dedication of this song.
Jodi is an angel, tried and true.
And now someone has taken her from me and you.
Left to carry on without her on our own.
Like paupers paying on an ill fated loan.
She'll be forever kept within my heart.
Whether or not she ever comes back to or not.
I know she'll be there to help us make a brand new start.
This worlds a better place for her being here.
But with one swift act we are left to wonder and to fear.
Leaves us asking, do we even want to know.
Or just remember her in the essence of her glow.
I miss you Jodi.
I know God is with you.
Note: This was written shortly after Jodi's abduction. That's Jodi Husentruit that is. She was from Long Prairie, MN, hence the prairie princess. She was the news anchor in Mason City, IA who in 1995 was abducted, the case is still unsolved.
