For Jade Goody

You've done all you can now Jade
Please take time to rest
Let the angels take flight

Let your weary head rest in comfort
Now everything is in place
Let the angels continue your fight

Let your weary head be in comfort
Let the pain 
Begin to subside

You have left no one in doubt
As to the love of your boys
Who will always be at your side

Spend your time with them now
Take away the camera's
For too long your shadow and sometimes your fall

But above eveything else
The strength, love and spirit through this time
Has made the world love you most of all

Your spotlight will never fade
For the lives you have now 
Begun to save

Our hearts are with you
For the fragility and honesty
You always gave

Bless you dear Jade
Your fight has taught us
To treasure each and every day

It made us wake up and realise
That even life in the spotlight
Doesn't stop life getting to you in some way

For every girl that ponders
Wonders why that appointment
Could be so important to do

They need look no further
Jade you have saved so many lives now
Lots of love Jade, be safe, be restful, be you...
