T'was a girl
of great charm.
T'was a girl
of blessed calm.
T'was a girl
who brought cheer
to everyone around her.
T'was a girl
who loved.
T'was a girl
whom everybody loved.
Dads, grams, gramps, aunts.
Uncles, kids, teachers, mums.
Strangers, yes strangers.
Found her a child of charm.
The girl brought laughter
to everyone dear.
And everyone dear
was everyone to her.
If time allowed,
and the girl grew well
In what would have been
A lady of sweet sixteen.
