Too young. One had said
as she walked in all black under the blazing sun.
Too soon. Another mumbled,
afraid that the wrong person would over hear.
It had seemed that no matter
how many times we saw your face,
It would never be enough
To sustain a clear image in our minds.
For curses find their way into memory
and you became something I wasn\'t sure
was true. Yes, you were young
and yes it was soon. But in all honesty were you
really as inspirational as they say?
Did you actually have such a impact in our lives?
The answer to that could very well be a yes.
For since then, I\'ve thought about you and wondered:
What would she do?
And in asking myself that question I always make the right decision.
Not because you were perfect or any of the things
All the others had said. But because you were mind
and I knew you. I knew the real you and nothing you\'ve ever done was a regret.
