Todays poem

Foreword:

I am writing this for my young Niece that tragically passed away last week.

Ode to Elizabeth

Elizabeth the apple in your parents eyes,

Still so young you passed away,

It's tragic, but you leave the world,

With memories good and bad,

With memories of your laughter

Memories of good times, memories of bad times,

Like everyone on earth, your contribution, although short, will always be remembered,

We cannot know when our time is up,

But when it is it's never final,  memories linger,

Memories that will carry you, in the hearts of the one's you touched,

I hadn't seen you for so long and wish I'd known you better,

I hope that where you are right now, you're sharing all that laughter,

The laughter I remember, from several years ago,

The one that will be remembered by everyone that it once touched.

RIP your Uncle Klaus
