You didn't get to live your life, It struck you all at once, You were just beginning, Then came your last months.

I wish I'd known you better, But somehow I fell I do, You passed me many times before, Without ever getting a second look.

The people who you touched, In the short life that you lived, Will forever remember the light, That was burning deep within.

You have now filled your spot in Heaven, Where the pain has gone away, The angels sing to you nightly, In that place not so far away.

I want to say my last good-byes, To you, whom I could have known well, I hope you spread you joy in heaven, As you did in our lives as well.
