Remembering a Friend

On the wings of a Dove,
let her spirit soar high above.
Loved by those close and far,
always to think of her as a beautiful star.

She touched the hearts of many here,
her gentle honesty and love so clear.
Do not cry for her now or later,
for she would want happiness far greater.

Remember her in laughter and smiles,
for she did, even in her toughest trails.
Remember the essence of her pure love,
and remember it is still here with us from up above.

Don't let this be a saddened goodbye,
just smile and look up in the sky.
The woman we knew, each in our own way,
seemed to set this world ablaze.

She fought for things she loved and found dear,
even in her own pain she would lend an ear.
So think of that bright start up above looking down,
and know she would want smiles not frowns.

Chase each memory with a toast,
for she was one woman, now a beatiful ghost.
Let it be said that Lanta grew in our hearts,
always look in the sky to see her new start.

From up above she watches us all,
being that quiet hand or word to not let us fall.
She gave of herself to each of us,
Let us not forget how we are so very blessed.
