Your laugh was so deep and rich
From your soul it came
You saw reality far too sharp
For one so young
Knew that indeed the world had its moments of darkness
But you clung to the joy and light
Spreading it where ever you wandered
Protective of all whom you loved
From the smallest child to the oldest adult
You'd walk into my home
A smile on your face as you said
Hey Mz Jenni, how are you today
Lookin good, should have those men dropping like flies
Just for the honor of standing by your side
Quickly you'd cross the room to give me a hug

And now my heart aches knowing I will never again
See your smiling face
Hear those words you spoke
Or feel the warm embrace you freely gave
Your life over before it had barely begun
I watch now as your friends come and go
Leaving flowers and cards
The candles flicker all night long
So many tears and aching hearts
As the grieving starts
Phone rings in the middle of the night
Your mothers voice at the other end
Worn and tired, so full of pain
As she asks me what does she do now
Asking me over and over why and how
I have no answers for anyone
Not even my own son

Far too young to have your life ended
When its only just begun
Heavy hearts and tear filled eyes
Are all that is left behind
Memories and stories of your life
Fill the air every where I go
None of us wanted to let you go
We come today to say good bye
Forever asking how and why
