Casey, Oh Casey
Where have you gone?
You died so young, child
And we must carry on
Down beyond the cattails
Where lily pads entwine
There you took your last breath
Gone before your prime
I was a child, too, then
Now it seems like a bad dream
The lake waters are still now
Sometimes the tears still stream
I hope you’re happier by far now
Above the clouds the lake reflects
& as you frolic with the angels
Here on earth we can’t forget
Here on earth we don’t forget
Here on earth we won’t forget
