Cara

Brown of hair, blue of eye

Grinning mouth one tooth shy

Dad, child and friend makes three

Joyful girl glad and free

These two friends good old boys

ATV bush bound toy

Too much drink slurred their words

Small girl played diving birds

On the bike friend and child

Through the bush track was wild

Misplaced turn flipped the quad

Down ravine scraped and clawed

Up the road truck tires scream

Stops a car worked their scheme

"She fell off back of truck"

"Broke her leg just bad luck"

Woman starts CPR

Ambulance can't be far.

Breath nor life could she find

Smell of death clear, defined

Child left where help was found

Hope of life she was bound

Down the hall cops were there.

Dad and friend cuffs they wear

Homicide spoke that night

Lie they told, skip the fight

Back to nurse she was near

"Dead, you know that my dear"

Mind in shock by Dad's tale

In my heart, bursting wail

In my mind she will stay

Won't forget girl at play
