This is for every person whoever knew Laken Riley,
For all of those she was taken away from,
And for those who never had a chance to meet her.
An outgoing heart of love,
Her right to go out was taken,
So another undeserving could come.
From so many of us she was taken,
Away from her loving family and friends,
And future patients she will never meet.
Her unborn cry out from Heaven,
For never knowing the love of her womb,
Though she takes now their hands to comfort.
Inside each of her former classrooms,
An empty chair holds fresh flowers,
An empty silence of students without words.
I who have laid down my pen,
Now use it building a bridge of words,
Connecting to her loving heart.
For her heart is a gift on Earth,
Rare and beautiful dedicated to others,
A life helping people she can no longer live.
Let us each build a bridge to her heart,
That she lives forever unforgotten,
Her light touching others through each one of us.
