In Memory of Kayla
This is a poem that I wrote for Kayla a while back and I've modified it. She passed away on Saturday, May 2, 2008 after years of courageous battle with cancer.
Few souls were as strong
And wise as you were.
You were and always will be an inspiration,
To both the young and old,
The way you fought the demons.
With your grace and faith.
By taking the negative
And only seeing the positive,
Embracing life and love,
Refusing to give up, even at the end.
The light within you will never fade,
For your spirit is far too strong.
Keep your eyes toward the light,
Refusing to see the dark.
May your family and friends be blessed,
With peace, love, and your sweet spirit,
Never to part.
Rest in peace, Sweet Kayla, you will always be in my heart and memories.
With Love,
Karen

Thank you for passing on the information about Kayla. It just breaks my heart to see the demons beat such a young girl. Put she has opened the doors to heaven where she is pain free. God Bless her.
