This is true... the gravestone of a 14-year-old girl who was murdered in my town 20 years ago. Her body was found early one morning, in the weeds, in a vacant lot. She had been to a party where drugs were used and she was beaten to death.


Your Gravestone

To De Anna...

Child of all things soft and bright,
your smile lives on in memory
and on summer nights I see you
playing hide 'n' seek,
running and laughing,
so full of life.

You left us one November night
when the wild blew cold
and you trusted the wrong people,
crying out as you died...
Now you smile down from Heaven
and wait for us to join you...

in eternity's grand chorus of angels!
