Be at Peace My Love

In loving memory of my cousin

Be at peace my love
Leave behind the pain.
Of a broken child left alone
By the one who gave her life

Be at peace my love
Let your anger go
For the dad who seemed so hard on you
Yet loved you all the same

Be at peace my love
Leave behind regret
Of the teen who made bad choices
As a runaway on the streets

Be at peace my love
You made us all so proud
As a single loving mother
Devoted to her babes

Be at peace my love
You lived with open heart
Taking in a homeless teen
To treat her as your own

Be at peace my love
Your smile reflected much
Of a strength that matched no other
Which you shared with all you loved

Be at peace my love
You earned our great respect
As you built from scratch a business
To make a better life

Be at peace my love
As the angels take you home
Our memories will dry the tears
But forever you'll be loved
