Jackie Ahlers

So Young

She was so young

Only nineteen

When she left this world

Such a crushing blow

We loved her so...

Then she went away

She was so loved

So many dreams

When she left that day

Her future so bright

Seemed so unfair

Did she have to go?

She was so bright

A shining star that would not go out

Her soul - it was so dear

 

REFRAIN (Repeat 2 times)

O God, How could she leave us? Will we ever get through the pain? How can we heal it? Things will never be the same... It’s been so hard; the only thing we can do is trust in You.

 

Why do I cry? I know she’s with You in your guiding hand. The time has come to leave her with you and follow your plan. Oh, I know that her shining star will not go out and her soul will always be so near.

REPEAT REFRAIN 2 TIMES

She was so young - only nineteen when she left this world. We miss you, Jackie.

So Young was originally a poem that Marcie O’Neil wrote to describe the pain and loss of losing her niece Jackie Ahlers. This was her personal gift to her sister Peg (Jackie’s Mother).

On the other side of the crystal door

We shall see you again, Jackie,

And say goodbye no more...
