Laid to Rest?


Ladies and Gentlemen... We are gathered here today to celebrate something wonderful. A life. No longer will she face tears No longer will she face pain No longer will she kiss the pavement wishing for the rain She wished to be free and that's what she got She'd rather be in the clouds than back down on a cot Happiness is something no longer in her head Her will is gone, my girl is dead. I wish I could have told her to stay strong, hold on longer But she couldn't face it anymore, hidden feelings I guess she couldn't wait for summer bringings. Tears come up to the brim of my eyes but the best I could do is wipe them and smile And remember the moments she was happiest... But wait, there's hope... She's not dead yet.
