Pretty as a picture
Arriving just in time
A-light a bright future
Wrapped around a vine
Carmen threw a bum a dime
Her overflowing tears
Touching her wavy black hair
Just a girl with a list of fears
Like weeds growing wild in a flower bed
Carmen's pain ran deep and pure
Upon a rooftop oasis
Authors their love to share
A babbling tower of staring faces
A door unlocked and released her cares
Carmen drifted away unto her cure
Blessed in a land supreme
Of stone plazas and odd fashion
There she stood as if a dream
In living color and with bold passion
Carmen's image is forever captured
