Lavender Lily

Precious Lily dressed in white, but lavender silk was her delight Too young a child, gone too soon Her daddy always was a mess, only liquor on his breath But Lily never questioned why before he took her life Mother died at Lily's birth, whispering her very last words "You'll do just fine, I know" But through the years he became lost, and beating lily was the cost And now she's gone in to the heavens taken too soon Lavender Lily, Lavender Lily Because of the choice, made by one man Lavender Lily, was taken too soon... gone too soon...
