Miana

So dear a life we lost this day, young one.

Your sweet smiles and innocent eyes.

We'll never forget.

The laughter you spent.

The tears you shed.

They'll always be cherished.



The days you'll no longer see...

Allow our eyes to guide you.

The experiences you'll no longer share...

Allow us to show you.



Constantly remind us

That despite this awful tragedy,

It is your life we must remember.

The beginning and not the end.



The words you spoke,

And the steps you took.

That angelic face we once looked upon,

And the light that inside you glowed.



You will be missed.

You will be mourned.

But rest easy, young one.

Fear not what you've left behind.



Soar high and speak sweet, young one.

Feel the cool breezes fly through your hair.

Feel the soft, green grass under your feet.

Allow God's arms to warm you... comfort you...

And soothe you.



Rest in peace, young Miana.

Your wings have finally taken you home.
