 She Was Beautiful 

She was beautiful 

And she was so sweet 

Then she got pregnant 

When she was 16

They still voted her prom queen 

She worked to get her teaching degree

And then her baby died

In a car wreck when he was twenty-three

She was so beautiful 

And she was so sweet


I rarely see her smile anymore 

I rarely see her

Sometimes shopping with her sister

Who leads her along

Putting items in the cart

Trying to lead her heart to a beat

She was so beautiful 

She was so sweet
