Katie , A Rose In Your Hand

her fav song was I Don`t Want To Miss A Thing

I`ve known you all my life dear friend , So young and full of life
I remember you as a newborn , so beautiful and alive
I`ve watched you crawl . I watched you walk , And run into my hands
But now as I stand over you , I don`t completly understand

Please help me Lord , Give me strength , I want to understand
Why you chose to take her life , I`ll never comprehend
She set her goals at an early stage , And she followed through
But Lord I just don`t get it , What in the hell did she do to you ?

They say that you are good , But , Why do I see bad
You blessed us with her life , And you took her with your hand
You say love life it`s good , but , In essence it just plain sucks
For you to go and take her life , From people who loved her so much

So now I stand before you Kate , A red rose held in my hand
I tried to smile , but my tears are falling , I dropped the rose again
I leaned over and picked it up , And to look away from where you lay
But something drew me near you , a voice saying " Please Don`t Go Away "

I know you see me hurting here , In my pool of tears
I`ll never see you again , Till that day he calls me there
I picked a red rose for you my friend , And seal it in my heart 
Cos what we shared lasts forver , And our love will never part

I placed this rose before you , Cos it`s from me to you
As respect for a loved one , My dear friend whom I hold true .

                                 I LOVE YOU KATIE

Written for Katie , Who passed away in my arms , August , 13, 2000
Please Don`t Drink And Drive , Her Life To Was Sacrificed To One
