Kali Ann Poulton |
September 20, 1989 - May 23, 1994 |
Kali Poulton was abducted by a stranger on May 23, 1993 while riding her big wheel outside of her Rochester, NY home. A few months later, her tiny body was found in a water tank, at the place where her abductor was employed. Her murder remained unsloved for 2 years, when her neighbor confessed to his wife that he had strangled the precious little girl to death the night he abducted her. He was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. The last words the judge said were "Lock him up." The lyrics below are those of a song written for Kali while she was missing, after her body was found, the song was slightly modified. The song is found on the rare cd "Do you know me? Songs for missing children" (Cover pictured above.) |

Kali Sung by Eyes Wide Four year old On her tricycle Just a little ride Then shes back inside O but this time friend Such a different end Now she's gone, gone, gone! So we carry on For love of Kali We left the porch light on for you Burned the candles Said the prayers And Hung your picture everywhere For love of Kali We clutch our children's hands so tight We watch them sleeping safe and sound and feel the tears come streaming down - for love of Kali Now her memory Lives in you and me And we won't forget She is with us yet There are gifts that last As the tears go past And from up above Kali we can feel your love We love you Kali We'll leave the porch light on for you We'll leave the porch light on for you We love you Kali 'We love you Kali We love you Kali |
