TO KNOW ME IS TO LOVE ME

I as allot of you have watched the morning news
Marysville high school shooting: two dead four wounded
It is with breaking heart
That is just happening too much
I have no inside what I report is from the local news
A girl turned down a boy and he shot himself her and some friend
It makes you wonder where this ends
It is always easy to second guess
But why shoot her if she is willing to take second best
That has always been my view
And trust me been turned down by a few
I remember being hurt its not a new sensation
"Dandy, you are the last person I would date."
This was the love of my life in the eighth grade,
"You re Dad is the village drunk, you well be just like him."
In 2004 I read her obituary, friends said, "She died an alcoholic
her third marriage to an alcoholic abuser." Who was the loser?
The message is you can't win them all!
And somehow we have to control easy possession of guns
by criminals and those with mental problems
I am not government control just for common sense of registration
