She Will Live On

Coffee Mugg
With incense burning,
she ponders life,
its many questions,
questions with no answers.

Why is she here,
why is there so much pain,
what will become of her,
those that love her?

Roy Orbison;
A love so true,
A love so beautiful,
In every way.

Closing her eyes she sees life,
but not of darkness,
but so beautiful,
she remembers a time past.

A candle burning,
its light flickering in the soft breeze,
slowly it diminishes,
as with life.

But even after the flame is gone,
there are still the memories,
memories that will live on forever,
Life lives on.

She will live on.
