Tears slowly roll down my cheeks
Another one missing for over a week
......another little black girl
......with a smile so bright
Another mother to mourn and cry tonight
Just a year ago little Tyra disappeared
Not even a clue....the worse we all feared
........a small body found
........right across the street
Tyra will never play again in the sweet summer heat
Now her name is Patricia
A little delta girl
.......pretty bows in her hair
......a smile so small and bright
Poor little Patricia disappeared in broad day light
Why our little babies
.....Why Tyra
.....Why Patricia
.....Why any innocent child
Why cause our tears to run over like fountains
While another one of our babies is found dead in the mountains
Or maybe in a creek
or some overgrown field
Why give another mother a wounded heart that will never heal
.......Why Tyra
.......Why Patricia
