In Memory of John F. Kennedy Jr.
by
Alice C. Bateman
Is John F. Kennedy Junior
Shaking hands with Lady Di
In the Sweet Hereafter
Where we'll all be by and by?
Are they up there making plans
Giving God their own reports
Of what's been happening down here
Will they hold a Higher Court?
To determine mankind's future
To decide on what will be
And will our planet's future
Be the one God showed to me?
At least now John will know his father
Who's been gone such a long time
While all that I can do is put
My grief into a rhyme
Who is there now to point to
And to our children say
Now there is such a good man
Try to be like him someday
And what woman is there out there
We can show to our young girls
And say, try to be like her
Make a difference in the world
And I, what is there I can do
To take away the pain
Of another tragic accident
On a day that's filled with rain
