Shelby

A lovely young woman died today
Her fight could not be won
Her pain and suffering is at an end
Ours only just begun

We knew this day was coming
We knew what was at hand
Yet tears stream from our memories
Our lives a tragic land

How do you move along life's path
When darkness shrouds your mind
You ask yourself, what would she want
Yet tears have left us blind

The senselessness of this cruel life
Has hurt us beyond reason
Yet we all know Shelby would say
To everything, it's season
