• A student by the name of Ashley;
    With her loved ones, joined the journey.
    Looking forward to the road ahead;
    "Together we'll stand, through thick and thin," she said.

    She was your average female height,
    With brown hair and blue eyes.
    Her clothes, loose and comfy;
    Yet still pleasant to see.

    Although, she had a heart of gold;
    Rub her the wrong way and she could be so very cold.
    She smiles and laughs about all the great things.
    A girl who is free and feels she has wings.
    She has her moments and spends time alone;
    Her friends and family worry because she is known.

    Laughs and smiles; joy to go around-
    heard and seen by all, echoed this joyous sound.
    Rarely her words would be harsh-her tone never really set.
    More often than not she sounded calm and collected and oh so quiet.

    Her life's philosophy was simple:
    Life is like a picture;
    You draw the lines, that's for sure.
    Do your best to live without fear.
    And ignore the bad comments and the occasional sneer-
    Because life is full of up's and down's, and can sometimes be a rough climb.
    Don't dwell on the past; we only have so much time.
