There it was
Light fading from her eyes
The last innocence of a youth misspent on growing up too soon
The blossoming of a flower a child into woman
The subtle changes in grace and poise
From clumsy to beauty in the blink of an eye
She was grown and fierce no longer my angel but now my warrior
Ready to take on a world filled with sadness and the desperation of man
As that last light lingered those moments I cherish
Fleeting seconds of carefree joy in the beauty of life and the humour of death
May that last glimmer linger a little longer and your light never extinguish in humanities rage
Stop Walking on Egg Shells
