You and I
share a name
though not
spelled the same
but still an honor
I can claim.
Gone
far too soon
I gaze
at the moon
and wonder
who to blame.
Your spirit
your light
made the world
seem bright
in spite of
my shame.
You taught me
to be brave
to occasionally
misbehave
and now my life
will never
be the same.
Warrior princess
damaged goods
did you ever
think you could
win
at life's game?
That your courage
and your heart
and your being
incredibly smart
made this world
one you could claim?
Though this was
your final day
in my heart
you will stay
and your legacy
will guide my way.
