We climbed higher and higher, still
Until I completely lost my will
I couldn’t continue the laborious deed
Rest is what my limbs did need
Cindy Sue thought it was grand
As she went reaching hand over hand
Rising high above my perch
When suddenly she gave a lurch
She dropped past me at breakneck speed
A miracle she would surely need
She hit the ground with a loud thud
I cried, scared for my best bud
Before I reached her I knew the truth
Her injuries I could not soothe
Her parents laid her gently in the ground
She will no longer make a sound
Now I plant flowers ‘round that tree
For my friend Cindy Sue to see
From her throne in Heaven above
Where she is surrounded by God’s love
