Shine

Life so short 
So precious hard fought
There's some that influence peoples life
Others may cause drama and strife 
It's rare to find a real star
They can shine on you from afar
When things seem dark and life is making you fray 
It's the stars that will shine and guide the way
Today we lost a true treasure 
One that will remain in me forever
This star many will remember 
They were genuine funny and no pretender 
They were lost  in a dark place without any sight
So sad they couldn't continue the fight 
This person was a rare breed 
A true humanitarian indeed 
In death they fought but passed away 
This was just another day 
Until in a moment of time 
They were taken it seems such a crime
This star was taken 
It's left so many of us shaken
Now the worlds changed forever more 
Their light will still shine of this I'm sure
So fun so wise so clever 
Their light will shine on forever 
Their laugh, wisdom and insight
Can't comprehend they lost the fight 
The sun has now faded beyond 
Darkness now the land upon 
Still a glow will light the night 
This star will forever shine bright 
Rest in peace
