I Won’t Forget Poem by Louise Tredoux

getting ready for jumping on the trampoline,
jumping fast, jumping high, when she died,
I lost my life, jumping fast, jumping high, she
is dead, she is dead, jumping fast, jumping
high, I will not accept, jumping fast, jumping
high, I won’t forget, jumping fast, jumping
high, she shall be with me, jumping fast,
jumping high, she’ll live in my heart, jumping
fast, jumping high, until I myself die, jumping
fast, jumping high, falling, falling, falling,
jumping fast, jumping high, falling
