Up To Heaven

It was over in a flash,
It was so sudden,
No one could see or believe,
What had happened,

She went to heaven that day,
People mourned for her death,
The bruises all over her body,
The cause was from meth,

Her mom was out of control,
She shot up eight times that night,
Blaming her for why her dad left,
It was a horrible sight,

Her body flew against the wall,
Fallind down and lifeless on the floor,
She was kicking and screaming,
The neighbors hear the sound and came in the door,

The mom was sentenced to life in prison,
Her little girl had to pay,
The price for her mom's problem,
She soared to heaven that day,
