i watched her this morning
face frozen in anguish
despair and shock
her mommy was gone
such a beautiful young girl
she could not speak
grief held her captive
her dry tears wet my blouse
drenched my heart
if only i could reach out
hold her comfort her
as her mommy would have
i hear her thoughts
her fear of tonight
knowing her mommy is gone
the river took her
without mercy
without notice
in her beautiful blue perfect mercedez benz
