BEVERLY

You were like fresh rain
Catching dust into a worldly drain
You were like a pretty flower
…hidden beneath a dirty shower
You were like fresh air
…that many share without a care
Now you’re you in an abstract
Forcing many tongues into many a talking contract

II
You
…needed the praises from those you touched
You
…needed the love from those you matched
You
…wanted to see within hearts your love writings
How many heard you in that quest?
Many wanted your resolve for conquest
And now you’re gone

Gone
One of the beautiful ladies in Ghallywood
Gone
One with one of the smiles to die for
Gone
One who fought for Blackness to be seen on television
Gone
A golden heart with golden hands
A hardwork in human form
I guess your deed is done

I pray for mercy for your partner
…children
…family
…real friends
And I pray for you
That the you after here will live well
Will live free
Will live highly rested
Sans hurts and pain and disdain and be sane

For all the greatness that you were
Deserve fruits of peace
Sleep in the tower of power
As your works continue to live for you
