Oh, little girl,

Lost to us all.

You were just starting out in this crazy world.

No chance to grow up.

The country mourns you, little girl

I mourn you.

No way we are ever going to understand

Or make sense of this tragedy.

All we can do is grieve,

And rage against the injustice of it all.

Tonight the world is crying,

Crying for you and your poor little bones.

We will go on, despite the madness

But the world will never be the same,

I will never be the same.

We will never forget you, Samantha.

If ever there was a time to weep, the time is now.
