No Trace (Dedicated To Her Memory)

She’s gone, there’s no Trace No more leather, no more lace No alluring smile upon her face He took her and left me with no Trace A dark and troubled life she’d led The hidden tears dark eyes had shed Dangerous waters she had tread Today I found out Trace was dead Tough and hard, the role she’d played Of nothing, she said, was she afraid But when all her cards had been laid Twas a tender heart God had made A sister’s love we had shared To each other souls were bared Standing by her when no one dared Staying with me when no one cared Now she’s gone, I have no Trace No long black hair falling ‘cross her face In heaven now, a better place Leaving me here without a Trace I’ll miss you…

So sad, dear. If this is true, how odd that her name was Trace and how you used that name in the lines of poetry. Very creative to do that. LUv, Andrea
