Two Souls: Mother and Daughter



Went on vacation in south Peru
A mother and her child
Together just the two
Coming back from the wild
Flying high in a 747
Flying high above the clouds
So high so close to heaven
They heard a “Boom!!” It was loud
The plane started to shake
People began to scream
It was like a big earthquake
Mary wished it was a dream
She looked down at her daughter
She saw fright in her eyes
Tears flowed like water
Thats when she realized
 The plane had an emergency
Smoke was filling the air
She grabbed Gabby with urgency
She was filling up with fear
Looking out the window
The clouds were going away
There wasn’t any hero
That could save them this day
Mary saw a smoking wing
Flames coming out in violence
Soon she’d hear the angels sing
She thought in total silence
Through the screaming and cries
Mary thought of Gabby’s Heart
She knew she had to try
To calm poor Gabby’s thoughts
She reached for her face
She held it in her hands
She said with all her grace
“Honey I need you to understand…..

…..Mommy loves you so much my dear
I’m afraid our end is coming
Please let mommy guide your fear
We need our brave drums drumming

Gabby saw into her mothers eyes
She knew it was all true
She felt they were about to die
“‘Mommy what are we to do?”

“We must hang on to each other
From now until it’s ending
I’m here Gab your loving mother
Here while we are descending”
Mary said with cold fear in her soul
“ Gab we must hang on tight
You must know I love you so
We must stay together,it’s alright

Gabby looked a bit more at ease
Now see was in her mothers arms
They were down on their knees
Using their love to disarm
“Mommy what about Dad and Mike
How will they know we are dead
Mommy what of my new bike
And baby kitty laying on my bed
Mommy will this hurt badly
Will our bodies burn to ash?”
Gabby said it so sadly
Mary heart went up like a flash

“Honey it’s going to be fine
Daddy and Mike have our home
Baby kitty’s lives are nine
She won’t ever be alone
I know you are only seven
I’m sorry you won’t see eight
But when we both reach heaven
We will have bikes,it will be great

With that they both held each other
Trying hard to hold back a scream
Two souls…daughter and mother
About to die unforeseen
Mary can see the ground..it’s near!!!
The moment of impact arriving
“Gabby, mommy loves you my dear
After this our spirits are rising

The plane crashed in the open seas
No survivors were ever found
152 tragedies
All burned up or quickly drown
In the night on these waters
When the moon is shining through
The love of a mother and daughter
Will come into the nights view
