She Showed Them the Light
She was born in October
the 24th day
Bicentennial year of 1976
She came in a fighting
A little early she was told
A survivor of life
She wanted to live
Her head always in the clouds
Wishing on fireflies and stars
Has always had a way with words
Sometimes bringing happiness with them
Sometimes bringing hurt
Imperfectly beautiful
Having many flaws
Always humbling
Never wanting spotlight on her
She loved it in the background
Where see could observe
She loved reading people
Their emotions and auras
Finding peace in her soul
It brought her pure joy
To meet all kinds of people
From all walks of life
A void in her heart
She was always trying to fill
A woman of sadness
To the world she was the healer
What others couldn't see
She hid very well
Was she wanted to be remembered
That's why she shined light for them
