An Angel We All Miss

A beautiful girl 
With an even more beautiful soul 
Was plagued with something 
That no one could control 

She battled with it 
But it was so much stronger 
It took over her health 
Her body became weak, and could fight no longer 

Only two years before 
This beauty didn't have a clue 
That time was coming to an end 
And her parents worse nightmare would come true 

She went through many procedures 
All we could do is pray 
That they would work 
And the cancer would go away 

She called the cancer "George" 
It showed that she still had her humor 
That no matter what it tried to take 
Her personality wouldn't be engulfed by the tumor. 

Though sometimes it was tough 
She tried her best to have hope 
And gave all of us reassurance 
That made us strong enough to cope 

As her chances got better 
No one thought the disease would last 
That she would beat it in the end 
No one ever thought she'd be gone so fast 

We all sat there, disbelieving 
On that dark, cold day 
Dressed in black 
Goodbye is all that we could say. 

Her beauty glowed from the wooden casket 
She looked just like a doll, so unreal 
Though we were all very sad for her death 
Many were happy that she would have no more pain to feel. 

We all had our memories 
Of her short life of only ten years 
Sharing them together that night 
Every eyes were filled with tears. 

Her mother and father gave her the perfect name 
Throughout her life it fit her in so many ways 
For like it, she shined... 
She was our gem, our Emerald Isle Maes. 

Though we'll never quite understand 
Why she had to go through this 
There's one thing we'll always know 
She's in heaven now, an angel we all miss.
