Too Late

In the misty air of uncertainty
He began to get some clarity
He pondered his wasted life
Spent in drunken binges
And lost jobs and wives
Some wives he abused
Just as he was about to
Recreate a new himself
Two brothers of an ex wife
Beat the life out of him
For beating their sister
Who nearly died from
The beating he gave her
Justice served in a way
But the timing was so bad
When he wanted to make
Amends and become a
Reformed and better man

Liza Lella (1977-1977)

Right out of the womb stricken with cancer,
Poor little Liza Lella coming into the world like that.
The compassionate cancer doctor did what she could,
And Liza cried all the way through the ineffective treatments.
The doctor and the parents quietly thought to themselves
Why would a loving God allow this infant to suffer?
Little Liza Lella died at only six months old.
The doctor and her parents cried and cried at the injustice of it.
Unbeknownst to them little Liza Lella was happy in heaven
Spared from the murder that awaited her at age eighteen.
