I know of a beautiful soul
who shared more with us in her short life, as she played so many roles.

Her time here on Earth was spent full of talent and worth.
Some only heard the negative spin,
but those of us more fortunate
were the ones to win.

For we were blessed to know all of the facets of her fractured and tortured body and mind.  She shared her hurt with the world
and used her voice as an instrument.

Her lyrics were raw emotion. 
She had the gift of being a brilliantly inspired lyricist. 
As I write this, my eyes are full of mist. 

You see, as I think of her humor and wit;
how in a world of posers-she was always true and genuine.
A free thinker, a gentle spirit, with a heart of gold- too good for this world full of cold. 

Those of us who had the privledge of seeing beyond the facade, will keep her spirit alive. 
That voice of an angel will always sing in our hearts and souls. 

Heaven must sound beautiful, Amy Jade Mermaid. Until we meet up in eternity.
