A Poem for Brooke
In halls where echoes softly blend, A bright young spirit, our dear friend. Brooke, with a sparkle in her eye, Beneath the classroom's open sky. She leaves a void no time can fill, A presence cherished, loved here still. In every lesson, every game, We whisper low her gentle name. Though taken from this mortal space, Her warmth and light we can't erase. A star ascended, shining clear, Forever held within hearts here. May peace surround you as you grieve, And in her memory, believe That every life, however brief, Brings moments sweet, beyond belief. Mrs. Graves
