She Never Knew
A Tribute to Lara Croft
Infant girl,
Small and pure
Never dreaming of the fun
That lies in store for her.
Toddler now,
Almost three,
Doesn't know what a legend
She will grow to be.
Six years old,
off to school,
Little knows that she one day
Will break all the rules.
Ten-year-old
Trouble maker
Someday without knowing it
She'll be a real heart-breaker.
Teenage youth
Rebel bold
Never does she think of doing.
Anything she's been told.
Sweet sixteen
pupil bright
When at Angkor Wat with Werner
She will see the light.
Twenty-one
and twenty-two
She will venture into the world
A true explorer's work to do.
Twenty-eight
Commissioned by a villainess
She will stop cruel Natla's plans
To cause great distress.
Twenty-nine
At the Great Wall
She alone will make the mighty dragon
To the temple floorboards Fall.
The big 3-0
Still going strong.
She'll stop Willard
From doing great wrong.
At Thirty-one
She may seem done
The evil Seth will have her on the run.
But while she's hanging there,
She finally realizes.
Her life has just begun.
2001
Adventure's dawn.
When we all have given her up for lost.
The fearless Lara Croft lives on . . .
