For Krystal Law

Her wandering eyes flicker

At the light growing dimmer

Swollen lids try to resist

The last glimpses of her mother

A melody too familiar

Floats across her ears and lingers

Since she was too young to remember

This lullaby from the rocker

By her bed sits her sister

Who puts her arms around her

A thousand things yet to whisper

Only I love you was all she could muster

It’s only at the end we remember

The reasons we are brought together

Without love and loss as a reminder

Life becomes one meaningless blunder

With a strength unlike any other

She smiles and reaches out to our Father

Angels are needed in heaven as healers

Where there she will rest in peaceful splendor
