Dear Kelly
Words cannot even begin to describe
The visions I saw when I looked into your eyes
Ever searching, seeking the truth
Never doubting or seeming aloof
Those eyes penetrated the highest wall
And burned through the toughest of them all
You were friends with those who had none
To you it didn't matter what they had done
You judged not by a persons past
And to the concept of love you held fast
It seemed you knew so much more
The answers or the key that unlocked doors
You wrote with words of wisdom to song
Almost as if you knew all along
The angels would soon come to call
And take you away from us all
So I came to see you on that sad sad day
Hoping that seeing you would show me a way
To help me understand the reasons why
One would be taken during the height of his prime
As I looked down upon your face
There I thought I saw a slight little trace
Of the warm and incredible smile
That was on your face all the while
I looked at you then looked around
Many tears came streaming down
And though your presence we will always lack
Through the tears - I smiled back
