She saw the stars shine bright when the city lights were on
And remembered every face of those people now gone

She recited every passage from her favourite fairy tale,
Just as a poet would recite a work soon to unveil

She believed in magic and stories meant to deceive
But the one time I'd laughed at that, she made me believe

She dreamt of the winter's winds when summer came
And in the heat of it all, she would pray for rain

She would play with fire when her mother was depressed
Just to occupy her mind, and clear it from all extra stress

The walls would whisper of her humble generosity
And when they asked her how she does it she answered,
Happiness and laughter is the only thing this world should see


But most of all,
She made a young boy laugh, a grown man cry
A shattered heart heal, an injured bird fly
A worried friend calm, a suicidal smile wide
And when we needed her most, she stood by our side
