It did stop for Her
As if it had a choice
Her will surpassed it
A long life she made it and
forced it to be happy
As if it had a choice
A smile that humbled the sun
The quest that time tried to profess
Make it confess did she
As if it had a choice
And as she rode life
Death galloped for her peacefully
It pranced into her light with permission
Folded hands
Rest laid
The rain did not touch her
As all else could not bid her adieu
but paved a clear way
for her next journey
Even the coldness of the day warmed the ground
so that flowers could protect the earth
she welcomed
As if it had a choice
Her Beauty, in Her Death
Made Life knock on every door
As if it had a choice
