My friend
Bridget
died last night in a car accident
I wrote this after my hands stop shaking:
Shine on, shine you star
That fills up our lives with glitter and warmth
A friend to everyone; generous to all
Dont burn out, dont leave us in the dark
Light is life, and you gave life
to everything you did
to everyone you met
All would dance to your tune
So different to the rest
Beckoning us to higher spheres
to things beyond the ordinary ground
You gave us a lift, something to rise above
A night without stars is a black hole
Please burn on
Dont leave us bland
Shine on, shine you star
Now sitting in the heavens
Looking down on us all
Still shining in our memories
Giving off your light and warmth
Inspiring us
