Over your grave
Ashanti I pray
I had asked God to forgive you
Yet i'm still in denial this will go away


What a shame
For someone with a demon in their soul
To take an innocent life like yours


Lying there cold, frail, and soft
As we all mourn over your lost


The tears that I shed on June 30
Were because you died
I knew how you struggled and now Your living the good life


You have completed God's task while On this Earth. I must thank you for Being a great aunt,
second-mother, And my personal nurse


This is not goodbye, but I thought I'd show my appreciation
For the time that I've known you You became an inspiration
As I stand six feet above your grave.

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
