Paradise of Eternity

A light that never dims Burning bright through the ages Wisdom flowing in those eyes Just as clever as the sages The strength of a thousand men Fortitude deep within her core Courage of a warrior Brave through this right-to-die war Endurance of an athlete Integrity til the day she died Dignity that never faltered Always kept her head held high Love is what sustained her The nation's outpouring of laud She's home now dancing With the angels and God Her eyes spoke words Heard only by those With a heart; Her soul sang a song Felt only by those With a spirit Rendered silent By those with no Virtue of substance My her song be sung Infinitely by the Universe May she find her voice In the Paradise of Eternity May her legacy Be immortal Enduring beyond Time
