Another one dead

Another buried friend

Just a pet, just a cat

But to a child, more than that

A little girl’s companion

One day alive, and then

The next he’s cold and buried

His killer left unworried

Driving fast through the night

Too fast to see the fright

A child’s only friend ripped apart

By a carelessly driven car

And the little girl weeps

For the friend she couldn’t keep.
