Jill Meagher

Everything happens for a reason at least that is what we are told
But that of little use to her since she did not live to grow old
Her life it was taken from her in the cruelest and foulest way
That lady luck was not on her side does this seem a  fair thing to say

Jill Meagher on her way home from a function a night out in her local bar
The distance to walk in metres for one in her late twenties not far
She met with a badly flawed person unworthy of mention by name
Who in prison will live for decades with the taint of his act of shame

Yes his name not worthy of mention the one  who took her young life
He robbed her family of a precious member and robbed her husband of his  beloved wife
Her friends left to mourn her passing how sad very sad life can be
I recall the  words of a wise one how we die part of our life's destiny

This may be so but poor Jill Meagher did not deserve such a  terrible end
Humanity does have  it's dark side why otherwise try to pretend
She now is beyond life's worries her husband and family left for her to grieve
That everything happens for a reason i do find quite hard to believe.
