Rest in Peace Hannah

By thesuccubusreturns

A deep hole for a tiny body.
A small coffin lined in silk
A child taken from our midst
Pulled away on a tragic tide
A sea of broken hearts and tears
And painful memories
We don’t want to forget

Hannah, full of joy and laughter.
Your time on this world was to short for us to bare
Your untimely death
To tragic for us to understand
But in us, who are left behind
You’ll live on forever in beauty

You live on in our smiles
And in our laughter
Our joy and our happiness
When we remember you
Though tragic is your death
The thoughts about this incandescent girl
Will bring a tear to our eyes,
But a smile to our hearts

Rest in peace Hannah
May your light shine
As brightly as it did here
Where you are now.
