She donned her shoes with grace
spinning ballerina
a child’s face
Her voice, an echo of her mother’s
sixteen and silent
________
Floating in song
we watched her dance
The calming effect after a storm
Holding her back
we tied her wings in vain
________
Face of an angel
left in the wreckage
sweet sorrows, we sing
bitter consequence
a stranger’s recklessness
________
She was taken
on the day of balance
Given?
heartbreak for too many
One not lost to a story
________
Forever loved
forever remembered
to dance with angel’s wings
she soars
higher than angels with golden wings
