Youthful Promise | 
|
| A nation mourns the loss of youthful promise
Found in the loss of its young leaders--
A life left behind never to shine.
You left behind a trail of mourning
In the lives touched by your glory.
You gave freely of yourself
Only to be lost in the final moments.
Some will remember your promise--
Hope to all those who aspire.
Some will remember your kindness-
Help to all those who struggle.
Some will remember your love-
Healing to those who hurt.
A nation mourns the loss of youthful promise
Found in the loss of you-
A life left behind... shining for a beautiful short moment. | | Dedicated to Second Lt. Emily J.T. Perez By Odessa Maxwell
