She is an ANGEL now
Sandra Cantu


Walking down her street
With a smile on her face,
Someone took her away
Not leaving a trace.
A Beautiful little girl
Innocent and pure
Was taken away
No more life to endure.
The minute I saw your picture
On the news in search for you,
My heart was so touched
Tears filled my eyes view.
I didn’t even know you
And now my heart cries
Because someone took you away
Who still remains a disguise.
I am so sorry Sandra
That this person saw you as prey,
If only we could turn back time
What would we say?
We always tell our children
To beware of the evil doers out there,
But children still trust
And have an innocence so fair.
You will be so very missed
By the many of us here,
And not a day will go by
That we will live without fear.
Fear of the perpetrator
Who still lurks in the midst
Fear of the many
Who are still out there and exist.
We will remember your smile
As you skipped away ,
We will remember your life
Saying a prayer for you each day.
You are now with the Angels
In our heaven above,
You will be cared for and comforted
And shown so much love.
You will be adorned very soon
With a beautiful set of wings to fly
And then you will be set free
To soar through the sky.
There are no words left to speak
Of the tragedy upon you
But know that we will search
And look for every clue.
And it is the smile on your face
And the pure innocence of you
That I will continue to ask myself
What is this world coming too.
With the hope that is still in our hearts
Everyday we will continue pray
Good Bye for now Sandra
Until we meet up again someday!

The End.

I dedicate this poem to a little girl named Sandra Cantu.
For she was one of our innocent children whose life was taken by the pure evil of someone in this world in which we live.
