For Her and Those Like Her

They say the good die young
But what about the sweet and old
Or the middle aged woman
 Who kept her family from the cold
Pray for those whom she touched
And many more like she
For this one moment let’s be equal
And pay silence so they travel in peace
Release at least one from all sin
The story of Carmelita Rochelle Gibbs
Is what this piece is about 
I truly send my heart out to her kids 
And hope their future holds grace
Let them hold a falling star
And know the soul of their MOM 
Will never stray from their heart
