Cassandra Lee once headed home
To see her family and her friends
She made some plans with them to roam
In parks on trails that never end.
And on the trip to visit home
Cassandra listened to CDs
She switched to news for John McComb
To hear his weather talk at three.
But breaking news was being told
And John McComb was not on air
The story was not of the cold
But of a family without a prayer.
A house had suddenly caught flame
And kept burning as a dog ran out
But not with people, what a shame.
One hour passed, death was no doubt.
A neighbor called up the police
And fire trucks were on their way
They planned to make the fire cease
They calmed the fire with their hose�s spray.
Cassandra wondered where it was
And with that thought she heard John McComb
He told the weather as he does
Then said the city; �twas her home.
She soon pulled onto her home street
And strained to see her house burned down.
She saw the ash and felt the heat
Then hit the gas to leave her town.
Cassandra wondered where they�d been
Inside the house or out for tea
She looked behind at the firemen.
And then she drove into a tree.
