Guestbook
A Light Shining Bright
She was a light shining bright
Taken from us before her time
So suddenly it was a crime
For we hoped with all our might
That she would one day beat
The illness keeping her off her feet
But which we hoped would fade
And thus this dark moment evade
A smile always on her face
Even bad days she would embrace
Seeing the good in all and not the bad
Never once did I see her mad
No even when times were fierce
Did her strength ever pierce
Her resolve ever more clear
Never giving into any fear
Her laughter always a sound to hear
Every day to those most near
Would always help pick up your day
Keeping all negativity at bay
Her humor one we will miss
Nothing left now but an abyss
We will somehow have to seal
Once we can begin to heal
Her exuberance no one could deny
To do so would surely be a lie
For in all she did she put her heart
Something all of us should start
No one showed more drive
Every day when she would strive
To do the best in all her deeds
That one day her soul would feed
She will always be in our hearts
That sadly have seen her depart
From this world into something new
Even if it has left us nothing but blue
But we hope it will be to a better place
Even when she we could never replace
All our love to her we will send
As we all begin to mend
