STORY OF HER LIFE
Dan Mukala
Eyes of gold that shone
Like fields of wheat in the morning sun
Hair of autumn earth tones
That sang like the child she was
These are the pictures of the future
The precious moments some would not allow
The gift of life just taken back
The day of broken promises
Tonight, all the stars in heaven said
Goodbye, to a child gone forever but
Tonight, there'll be no more crying for
What might have been the story of her life
Eyes of blue that gleamed
Across the floor at the schoolyard dance
Sweet baby girl, now all grown up
She's standing on the edge
Of a lifetime, of her lifetime
The precious moments some would not allow
The gift of life just taken back
The day of broken promises
These are the questions in my mind
A string of doubts that can't be swept away
The gift of life just taken back
The day of broken promises
