For you, sweet

Sunny smile
sparkling eyes—
glitter and shine
to fill a room with your presence
a party a party
only when you're near
love in abundance—
memories
our memories are treasured
in a vault deep
courageous girl
how you shone
odds against you
falter; not
fought with every breath
Then—
taken suddenly
to rest
in a better place
when it all got to much
somewhere far—
tears aplenty
what we would do
to have you back
until tomorrow,
or when that time decided
sweet love
we wish you
peace
love
and eternal rest
