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
