Serendipitous amazement, your assignment so bright

A vision of beauty, sheer joy, true delight

Angels & demons for your heart...did they fight

***************************************************

Serendipitous amazement, your assignment so bright

You soared to the city and and the simple left sight

Until days became dark and nights had no light

****************************************************

Angels & demons for your heart...did they fight

The struggle and battles became stronger in might

You ran and you cursed, life was all wrong and nothing was right

****************************************************

You moved to the coast where you reached a new height

For awhile you found solace and worked out of your plight

Serendipitous amazement, your assignment so bright

*****************************************************

Angels & demons for your heart...did they fight

Chaos and hurt brings evil shadows to the night

Tormentors sought hard to snuff out your light

*****************************************************

We lost you at twenty-two years of age that night

Angels & demons for your heart...did they fight

And Heaven opened its doors to you and your light

Serendipitous amazement, your assignment so bright

*****************************************************

True story of my beautiful grandchild who died from a heroin overdose. She touched many lives with her beautiful self, but left much too soon... her short assignment on earth brought love and joy.
