precious child
loving soul
free spirit

she would not wait for answers
she could not be kept here

she is heaven's child
now given to fly
precious angel with shimmering wings

her soul is home
and her spirit is free
fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    Peace, Love.

    while in her home town daffodils are blooming
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke
