The greatest of all human lives
Can shine so very bright
As if they are of star light filigree
Radiating irredescently
The most beautiful of all things
Its hard to know or understand
From where comes their genius
The knowledge and unquestionable gift
We marvel at all of this.
Why is it that these lights that burn so bright
Seldom burn as bright so long
And disappear forever more
Such losses to humanity
We can only hope will be restored
But we still grieve the loss so sore
It leaves an ever open door
To sorrow deep within our hearts
That will never be healed.
