Some people are sent here,
To do something special,
Some people are sent here,
To be something special,
Others, like you,
Are sent to do both.
***
You came into our lives,
Understated and kind,
Impacting us,
In ways undefined,
Only to be taken,
When in your prime.
***
And now we must,
Say goodbye,
As you take your farewell,
Into the sky,
No longer to be,
At our sides.
***
We will always think of you,
And the joy that you did bring,
That silly smile,
That scheming grin,
We may not be with you,
But you will never walk alone again.
