I heard the story of one young girl

who lights up so many lives

and is a blessing to the world

but she had to go,

leave her friends and family behind,

and now her reason to live

is so hard to find.

She should be laughing and playing

with all the other kids

but instead she's wondering

if it's her fault what they did.

Now she punishes herself

to take the blame,

then hides away in all her pain.

So next time you wish someone

wouldn't grow up too fast,

Just think of this story and remember:

when bad things happen

it's hard to make the good times last.
