A final gasp, A loosened grasp, The sadness of lifeless eyes, Filled with premature goodbyes, On that day we lost a soldier, Who lost the internal war, The cancer had won this round, But she had bet it many times before, With strength I have never seen, A veteran on how to live, To be a loving mother, sister, friend and so much more, She's gone now, Knocking on heavens door.
