You were so innocent,
But not like a newly born.
Your life was amazing,
It could turn night to day.

You loved all,
And you hated none.
You were accepted by many,
While others were simply being humans.

Your smile, your worries,
Your sorrows, your laughter,
Your joy, your pain,
Everything about you was so real.

But like a tree forgoes its best leaves,
The world discharged you of your duties,
To satisfy the ground-master that awaited your coming,
A dwelling that couldn’t resist your goodness.

Your absence was filled with pain for the world that knew you,
But a day of rejoicing for the world beyond.
A rare gem lost in our world,
Happily recieved in the afterworld.

The thought of you brings tears,
But the pain therein now dispelled,
Replaced by the beautiful memories of you,
And the certainty of a beautiful abode for your beautiful soul.

– P.Lord
