The Ribbon

Looking down at her dead face I tie the ribbon in a foolish way The delicious fragility of her china doll complexion The atmosphere feels so heavy with this travesty Her loved ones will remember her smile and her laugh Looking into their tearful eyes I can see their one wish!

Whoa! I love this poem short but sweet. I especially like the line, "The delicious fragility of her china doll complexion."
