The One I Love
I am as strong as a building
Every time I come home
There’s something wrong
The one I love.
And now
The one I love
God has called home
Once comforted but not no more
The one I love.
Surround around friends
Yet alone
No more hearing
“Brit, it’s time for school”
The one I love
No more looking
At her putting
Her makeup on in the mirror
The one I love
Every time I look up in the sky
I pray this was all a bad dream
And that I could wake up
She can give me a great big hug and a kiss on the cheek
The one I love
But I know now she is an angel
floating around me when I cry
She is looking down at me because
She is the one I love
— Brittany, age 14
