Still Here

Today we gather to say goodbye
To a friend daughter sister,
To a girl we all hold dear,
Life sometimes leaves us with
So many unanswered questions,
All of which begin with why,
I wish I had a magic word
That would ease the ache inside,
I wish I could turn back time
And a single second be changed,
I wish I knew the answer why,
All I do know is though in body
Our dear young girl has left,
But she shall live on forever,
For now her spirit lives in our hearts,
For every person who holds a memory
Holds a part of her soul with them forever
