Tribute: 

Today I sit alone and cry
your loss so sad I can’t describe
I don’t begin to understand
your playful bow, your twinkling eyes
suddenly all gone …

Your life was full till just past 10
you gave so much and asked for none
your ease with us, your clumsy grace
suddenly all gone …

Your spirit bright it fills my heart
still I can’t bear to see you part
with no warning you suddenly left
with ne’er a chance to say good-bye …

Allison Carpenter, originally written in memory of Tess
