She Left Us Aching

She left us aching.

A beautiful soul with a smile that melted us,
loving and kind, a friend to the stranger.

Then she left us aching. 

A relentless spirit with a fiery heart, 
fighting for equality, a friend to the hopeless. 

But she left us aching. 

Dark lustrous hair and a bonnie complexion, 
curvaceous and bold, not a friend to herself. 

And she left us aching. 

So please know you are loved, by myself and so many,
abide, we will hold you, dear friend do not leave us.

Do not leave us aching.
