The tragic end to a tragic life,
And bitter conflict no longer rife;
This is one opinion, as is the unknown.
In both, the enemy is overthrown.

Maybe because of my too-young demise,
I'll learn the true difference between truths and lies.
I'll learn the secrets of the heavens above,
Forever surrounded by warmth and love.

The author's comments:
This poem presents two ideas: the choice between life and death, and the hope that remains for us in the tragedy of someone young and full.
