Shelly Cole
A bright Texas sun
Beat down upon this day
In the middle few should know
A teenage soul should stray
Stolen by a thief
With no apparent motivation
This man offered
No explanation
A mighty blast filled the air
She had wronged none
All of a sudden
Her life was undone
Now robbed of her life
She shall carry on
With the pull of a trigger
She was forever gone
Yet carry on she shall
Carry on Shelly Cole
For your passing was
Out of your control
Happy you shall be
In the heavens above
Wings you shall have
Like that of a dove
Your beauty lives on
Long past your breath
It was near devastating
When informed of your death
Shelly, O Shelly
What has been done?
For your eyes where brighter
Than that of the sun
Though your body lies motionless
On that of the floor
Your soul shall undoubtedly
Live evermore
Carry on Shelly
Carry on
