Farewell youth

I like to think I still remember
The passion of youth, refusal to surrender
I talk of risk, and willingness to try
You lived it, knowing you couldn't die

But broken on the steep roadside
While I slept warm and deep
Just as the ambulance arrived
Your life was snuffed, we weep

We cry because you were so young
So filled with joie d'vivre
We cry because we don't remember
Our lives when we believed

So mortal is the human soul
So fragile is our light
Like zombies we will struggle on
From dawn to blessed night

We love you Amy
