Analysis of Lyra



A flower of humanity whose love
Was beyond question, a gift from
Our Creator to all whom she met,
But, alas, Satanic evil in its move
Through history influenced a fellow
Human to bring an end to her life.

A repeat of history since its beginning
The source of much pain for relatives
And friends. And to the latter we offer
Our sincere condolences. For to those
Who knew her aside from her abilities
Were aware of a flowery gem.Yes, like
All of us she had her faults and supported
What others would not but by all accounts
She was liked by many.
