An anguished call, a friend,
His youngest daughter’s life did end,
You mean Heike, I can’t,
I don’t understand,
What happened, what did she do?
Just sobbing, not a clue,
An overdose I guess,
It’s just all one big mess,
Quiet now, I swear I hear his heart,
It’s tearing him apart,
When I said, when did this happen,
I thought just keep on blabbing,
Let him some space, don’t push to hard,
It’s tearing him apart,
A sob a click and he was gone, the phone was dead,
A hundred miles I drove instead,
I didn’t say a word, just a hug I give, and love,
You know I said she’s up above,
An Angel, lost, in this world was she,
To heaven now she holds the key,
An altar lid with candles small,
A picture of a girl grown tall,
Heike is right here I said,
An Angel now instead,
With broken voice and shoulders folded,
Like a child severely scolded,
There he sad wrapped in himself,
Like some fossil on a shelf,
No talking now, just hands on shoulders,
While in agony he smoulders,
My little girl is gone he said,
I wish he sobbed, it where me instead.©08/07/2009
