A Young Life

lauren neale-may
a young life
a young death
on a field
far from home
not alone
maybe lonely
happy though
all in all

now I know
her face
and smile
her hair
pulled back
curly brown
yes I remember
her face now

all the talk
all the planning
all the grief
is what we have
nothing can bring
her back
to us
to her friends
to her mom

what can I say
what can be said
of death
of life
of moving on
there is nothing
there is no one
who can tell us
