21 Years

We take a moment today, Aug 6th, to remember Elisa

Beautiful sister
Beautiful soul
Beautiful eyes that never grow old

The memory of you
like a shadow that fades
but today the pain is sharp like a blade

Let me be sad today
Let me feel the pain
Let it pour on me like the torrential rain

Let the thunder sound and winds blow
Let the storm come
Let there come many let there come none

Twenty-One years ago, we searched for you
we walked miles, we slept none, day in and day out we searched
and still today we search.... ever yearning our hearts crying
searching...searching....for Elisa
