Skyler Waldron Poet Rhyme

She Said Yes

Cassie was a daughter full of love;
But now she's resting far up above;
She was brutally murdered with a gun;
It seemed like the shooters were having fun;
She was killed in a horrific way;
She will never live to see another day;
I am her mother, I love her so dear;
That long day I felt such horrible fear;
I had to bury her body in the ground;
She will never make another sound;
I used to be troubled teenage girl;
Who gave weed and alcohol a whirl;
She hung out with the wrong set of peers;
She ignored me as if she couldn't hear;
She hated me - thought I didn't care;
I didn't care for the clothes she chose to wear;
Then one day, she met a new friend;
I truly hopes that my fear would end;
She taught her that she was loved;
By her savior and God above;
Cassie became a happy wonderful teen;
Like I had truly hoped I ever seen;
But then came the day of April 20th 1999;
When two teenage boys shot up Columbine High;
12 teens were killed and 24 more were injured;
Hearing the deafening shots that lingered;
In the library, hiding under a desk;
Which was now a total mess;
One shooter talked in with as gun;
He seemed to be having so much fun;
He threatened Cassie and her friend;
Cassie hoped this wasn't her end;
"Do you believe in God?" he said;
Putting the gun to her temple;
Her answer was quite simple;
"Yes" she says in her calm way;
He pulls the tigger - and she lived her final day
