Forever Sixteen

Oh how life can be so mean
Death took you my daughter l, at sweet sixteen
Never to.fulfill your heart's desires
My tears could quench raging fires

Holly Anne my baby, I hope you knew
That I your father, really loved you
I tried to show you the best I could
I'd of done anything for you yes I would

Your death, my life's greatest tragedy
Losing the one who meant all to me
My little girl, you made life worth living
I beg God to let me be forgiving

And now you'll be forever sixteen
God, thank You for all those years between
Baby, toddler, teenager, every single day
The memories of my daughter always will stay
