If I Happen To Go First

by Vashita Aldridge - Cancer

" If I Happen To Go First "

  If I happen to go first and you remain to face this
 world alone,
  I can only hope that one day in heaven I'll get to
 see how much you've grown.

  How curly did your hair get, how pretty was your smile,
 did your daddy get the chance to walk you down the aisle.

  If I happen to go first and you remain, in life's great
 war and society's shame...
  remember all the values and morals you were taught,
 for money may buy many things, but a soul it has never 
 bought.


To my dear sweet daughter marie, "I love you".
