Departing

The time has come for you my dear

To embrace this breathless silence

To lay your golden curls here

Ending natures violence

Eyes a ocean hue

Gazing at the sky so blue

Sickly cheeks shimmer wet

Waiting for the end to come

Little life lived

Even less left

A smile slips upon pail lips

The little one with strength

In face of the futile

It is time to rest

Darkness draws its curtains

Limbs go limp

A precious life leaves

A smile still lingers

Those she loved left to grieve

Do not dwell on the battle lost

Revel in the strength that was shown

And the love that was given

Light a candle of remembrance

The fight is done

And death has won

Peace has been found

For this brave little one.
