JonBenet Ramsey

Her name was JonBenet Ramsey.
Her nickname was Jonnie B.
No one will ever forget her.
She was an angel for all to see.

“Do roses know that their thorns hurt?”



She was beautiful,
As though she was encased in light.
She was a gift from God, her heavenly Father,
And she was precious in His sight.

At the age of five, she entered child beauty pageants,
and she was often a child beauty queen.
But in the deep, dark shadows,
a killer would lurk unseen.

In his twisted labyrinth mind of fantasies,
it was JonBenet he would see.
He would imagine her wearing heavy make-up
and dancing suggestively.

Then on December 26, 1996,
A ransom note declared money for her life.
But there was no one in the house
Except for a father, his son and his wife.

Happily ever after has been taken.
A child now rests unafraid and peacefully.
Now thirteen years have passed,
And JonBenet's killer is still free.

Her smiles were perky and genuine.
In Heaven her beauty will not fade.
She was taken too soon.
But we will always remember JonBenet.

Her golden heart stopped beating,
her hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
"I only take the best."

She will be missed.
Her charm unlike the flower here on Earth will never fade.
She is now an angel in heaven.
We miss you, JonBenet.

In loving memory of JonBenet Patricia Ramsey
