It’s hard to look
It’s hard to look away
Pictures of happy days – her radiant smile, those eyes that glisten
The way she fills any room with her manic presence
It’s hard to focus
I drift away
Memories of happy days – her right answer to every Trivial Pursuit question
I try to catch my breath
It took the rarest bane to conquer a rarest being
Shaida fought the valiant fight with her quiet grace
It’s so hard to let go of you
We’ll hold your loved ones close
Can’t fathom their pain
You left them love, you left them friends, a wealth of friends
Friends that will always be
Friends beyond this life
