Ray of Gold

For my “sister” and friend, Kriztine Barrett. Gone but never forgotten or lost.

You walked the Earth with
grace and poise.

You gave love.

You inspired hope.

You left in such a hurry,
no warning, no goodbye.

This Earth has lost a ray.
A ray of gold,
striped with the grays of life.

You inspired me.

You gave me hope,
you gave me ambition,
you gave me dreams.

I hope to meet you one day.

Your faith, undetermined,
but for me, unneeded,
for I will find you.

I will find your light once more.
No matter if it’s through,
Reincarnation,
Afterlife,
Or even a black hole.

I will find my ray of gold,
striped with gray.
