Remember me as the girl who understood that behind every unkind word or action
is a soul in agony just screaming for help

Remember me as the girl who saw someone crying and refused to leave the person's side until their smile came shining through

Remember me as a girl who nurtured everything she touched so she didn't feel the pull of motherhood the way some girls do because she was already a mother in a million other ways

Remember me as the girl who spoke of Jesus even at the risk of getting yelled at by someone who chose hate over tolerance

Remember me as the girl who always had a pen in her hand because the thoughts in her head as evil as they could be turned into words that shaped the soul of whoever read them

Remember me as the girl who saw sadness so deep yet she found reasons to never give up

Remember me as the girl who loved even when others didn't deserve her heart
because she knows what's it's like to be hated just for being who you are

Remember me as the girl who wore compassion on her sleeve
because the only thing she ever wanted
was for no one to be sad

Remember me as the girl who was brave enough to break apart and sew herself back together despite the pain

Remember me as the girl who was always willing to drop what she was doing
just to dance alone in the rain
