Busy Life she Led

"She was a swimmer, says the swimsuit
hung to dry on every available doorknob;
a dedicated one too, says the medals and ribbons
displayed on her bulletin board and a Christian girl,
says the opened Bible by her bedside
and a cross round her neck;
but not a fashion guru says the numerous sweatshirts
lined throughout the closet with her comfy jeans.

She lived with her parents says the house
kept clean aside from her unkempt room
constantly a disaster area, and she had a brother,
says the baseball themed room down the hall.
Friends were important, says the pictures in the frames
and her phone constantly in reach just in case the needed her.
And a creative girl says the craft supplies in her room.
A caring one says anybody who knows her well.

She loves listening to her music, says her iPod
and radio constantly playing. A busy life she led
says the dusty TV and lost remote in her room
no time to just sit down and watch the screen.
And the ones she loves? Supporting her 100 percent.
She wants her memories to last forever
says the photo albums and scrapbooks lining her shelves.
She was unique and confident, they say."
