We Love You
By Kalah McCutchen, 10th grade, March 30, 2005

Lay down your head and rest it here.
Close your blue eyes, and say your prayers.
Today was your last, one final breath to shed.

Room nice and dark, just the way you like.
You’re covered in silk, not to feel loss or strife.
He was the one to see you leave life.
You had high hopes of being his wife.

These are your children, your only three.
You gave a piece of your life for each to be.
They love you so much, and they tell me so.
Beyond all arguments, they didn’t want you to go.

We are your friends, family, and others--
Mother, father, sisters, and brothers.
We will see you soon on earth’s paradise.
To kiss you again will be so nice.

She is your follower, and you are her hero.
She, too, she loves you; believe me, I know.
When you left, so did she
She--that little girl--was me.
