She awakens with the November sun.
An hourglass shatters--time is now undone.
She exhales.  Time stands still.
breath now at its end.
An instant now forever as the sun descends.

My dear it wasn't your time.
Too young, too innocent to be taken away.
Wrong place, just the wrong time.
You didn't even have a chance to save yourself.

There's such a pain in your mother's eye.
sorrow seen upon the face of your Father.
The pain of loss, it still lingers.
But the memories, they remain.

This crossroad now sets into silence.
Many years will pass.
You're never to be forgotten.
Remembered from the past.

We let these clouds pass over.
loss out of our hands--we will embrace.
Your light never ceases to warm us when left in tragedy's wake.

There's a pain in your mother's eyes.
sorrow seen upon the face of your Father.
The pain of loss, it still lingers.
But the memories, they remain.

May you rest in sweet serenity.
May you rest with your mind at peace.
This moment will now be infinite as you drift forever into sleep.

We will let these clouds pass over.
We will let these trees turn to gray.
These seasons turn in your passing.
These weeks and months will grow from these days.

The pain of loss, it still lingers.
But the memories, they remain.

Your light never ceases to warm us when left in tragedy's wake.
