The Lighthouse of Selena

May time never forget,
The fire that burned so bright, 
As to be seen by sailors, 
On glimmering nights. 

In the darkness,
Her light can be seen, 
Throughout time, 
She shall always gleam.
 
From our hearts, 
From our souls, 
A sadness, 
We behold. 

To Selena, 
For the wrong, 
That we havth done, 
Thou for forgave us, 
Never shunned.

Now that death, 
Is no longer shy, 
The havens, 
The earths,
Can only cry.

As the rain,
Pores down our grief, 
We look to the sky’s,
In disbelief.

For she is gone,
From this world, 
Never wronged,
Just unhealed.

To all the sailors, 
That find their way here, 
Remember Selena, 
She was so dear.

These fellows of infinite tongue, that can rhyme themselves into ladies favours, they do always reason themselves out again !
