The world seems a colder place
With only the memory of your face....
So short the time you stayed
Yet so immense the role you played;
...
I die because...no one heard...
A single silent pain-filled word.
I die because....those who cared....
Chose not to see the soul I bared.
...
Silver handles on a casket of steel
Reflecting sunlight...cold and unreal...
Sinking deep into hallowed ground
As the grief-stricken gather 'round.
...
Until Then
The world seems a colder place
With only the memory of your face....
So short the time you stayed
Yet so immense the role you played;
A daughter ...a child...a friend....
Your beauty and grace had no end.
As by your grave today I stand
With a single flower in hand
The comfort I take may seem odd
But I know now you wait with God!
