Time sure seemed to pass for her

A girl who's head 

Was constantly in the clouds

She went by the name of Willa

Willa Mongrove

The girl who never left

She'd always remained there

Never too afraid to look back

Or stand up for those who couldn't stand for themselves

Willa loved the region of life

Age did not clarify importance

For Willa had already surpassed 

Those who were much higher in schooling

For she was only eight

And prepared to live 

With no doubts

She was fearless

And kind

No one could even come close 

To her happiness

It radiated off of her

Onto her family and vast acquaintances

It was extraordinary to see

For here was 

A girl not even nine

Teaching us a lesson

About life

Willa proved to us 

That no matter your age, race, or religion

We can all learn 

To take a step back

And actually breath

Our lives are not meant for wants

It's meant to purify us

And set us free

For Willa knew generations 

Before her own time

She was deemed to help

Turn us around

For the good

Thank you Willa
