A girl was abducted just days ago,
A video played out her fate.
A community searched for her only in vein,
For she'd been waiting at Heaven's gate.
The news poured out through the cities,
We all prayed that she would be found,
An end to the question "What happened to her?"
The answer discovered by hounds.
She couldn't have known what would happen this day,
Or she wouldn't have walked herself home.
The evil that lurked within her path,
To no one this presence was known.
A life so innocent, full of promise and hope,
So tragically taken away,
How could anything happen this unbearably sad,
And not cause your faith to be swayed.
And why must her parents so suffer?
Their child taken in that atrocious way,
Living their lives out remembering,
That horribly tragic day.
Why do they happen, these horrible things?
What purpose could they possibly serve?
Things so disturbing so chilling and cold,
Something no doubt, she didn't deserve.
Dear Lord even if you can't answer
Might someday I understand?
The reason for all of the violence,
I need to hear it firsthand.
Till then could you help me stay faithful?
Help keep my faith strong, and adhered?
And place me back to a moment in time
Far before the poor girl disappeared.
