That girl has gone
Past away
Only one left is an old lady
Living in yesterday
Her smile says
I know who I am
I know where I came from
For what I stand
She doesn’t need to say
Anything else
For those that are near her
Love her
Know she loves them
That way
She understands that young girl
Didn’t die
She lives within her heart, her mind
Giving all as she did
When she walked the land.
