Analysis of lost

Alicia Baker 1996 (Monticello, Ky)



we used to have fun.
We would run walk and run.
on that tragic day, all our hopes and dreams were taking away.
I have no memories at all of that day, but all our hopes and dreams were taken away.
I wish I could go back and re do it all.
Then, we wouldn't have had to fall.
I will love you until my dying day.
No one can take that away.
