In Loving Memory Of

She seemed to have everything to smile... 
But deep down she knew her own misery. 

She was a character with a remarkable aura as anyone would say... 
But she camouflaged any imperfection. 

She smiled for the world,
For they kneeled in front of her charisma... 

Her insides were filled with sheer grace as anyone would recall.
But her mask made what her unique personality was. 

I used to praise her daily courage. 
And she tried to smile just for herself
But it was not enough in the end... 

These are the words from her ex-husband.
