On June 23rd, 2015, Heaven gained an angel. This would be her seventeenth birthday.
The angels danced as Earth let sigh
The day Heaven gained an angel.
The flowers turned their bright heads high,
The day Heaven gained an angel.
So many people shed a tear,
The day Heaven gained an angel,
And one small girl lost many a fear,
The day Heaven gained an angel.
She fought her life away, they said,
The day Heaven gained an angel.
And though but small her fire burned red,
The day Heaven gained an angel.
Her friends sit by this Remembering Day,
The birth of Heaven's new angel,
And think of Zion, coming their way...
To bring with it Heaven's new angel.

To Lauren -- though we never got to know each other, you have taught me so much. It will be good to see you again.
