Summary:Sometimes death isn't such a bad thing...
A beautiful woman
Whose heart was proud
Her strength was becoming
And her judgment was sound
Holding compassion
So near to her heart
It was one fateful day
That tore her apart
For it was her compassion
That brought her to him
And it was his betrayal
That led him to sin
For fifty years she slept
Undisturbed, honored and praised
Until in another’s sick desire
She was once again raised
She lived a life that wasn’t whole
Had a heart that didn’t beat
Skin soft and flawless
That held no warmth or heat
Until that fateful day
When once again she gave it all
Her life was cut short again
To save one she had to fall
She walks with grace
In the heaven’s now
Where angles still sing
And respectfully bow
She rests in peace now
Her earthly journey done
She smiles down from heaven
In remembrance of a battle won
