Poem for Shani

An angel lived among us,
A soul of courage, blazing with a love for life,
A fiery little spirit,
burned brightly, but only for a while,
leaving us with memories of a child

Days can still feel happy
But only when the sky is deep and blue
Nights
bring sorrow
But also comfort when the stars shine for you

Tears forever will flow easy
When rainbows bright are shining in the sky
Reminders
Of how our angel kept on smiling
How she kept her magic shining
How she sent the black clouds flying
How she somehow turned her darkness into light
