Taken

by Shirley Denton
(Dayton Ohio )

You were taken one cold winter's night

left all alone to die no one heard you cry

Sister sister lying there cold and dark in a ditch

did you have time to pray or cry out for mercy

why did this heartless man just drive away

I still mourn for you with timeless memories

shaken and confused I still can't understand

sister sister why did this man take your life

that night he hit you then drove home and went to bed

not one thought of you played in his head

covered in blood and a blanket of white snow

Sister did you see Jesus when you went through the tunnel of light

now just a memory your body rests in the ground

sleep in peace sister soon you will be Heavens new quest
