Beautiful Marie
I remember this day as if it were yesterday
Red lips, Red dress, White smile painted across your beautiful face
Your dark eyes spoke kindness laughter and joy
A heady combination for the devil to destroy
You took life in a stride
Leaving sadness, tears and disappointments aside
Your voice resonated with happy recounts
Even in your last breath, sickness couldn’t taunt
Oh yes, it tried but failed
You were too positive to let it assail
You laughed when we cried
You lived while we died
Beautiful Marie
Goodbye
