Alyssa Paige Slape

Here for a moment,
Gone in a flash.
I just didn't know
It would hurt this bad.
A simple mistake,
A little extra gas,
A too sharp curve,
She's now in the past.
She'd driven that road
One hundred times before,
Radio playing,
Pedal to the floor.
She's in a better world,
A much more beautiful place.
One that matches her heart,
And her beautiful face.
Paigey, we miss you,
We want you back
Our world is darker,
Less light, more black.
We only had you for a little while.
That wasn't enough.
You were truly an angel-
Your being gone is tough.
But we'll see you again
[[To this precious thought we cling]]
As Jesus descends,
And angels sing.
You'll be in the front row,
of that angel choir
With a joyful face
and voice that won't tire.
Paige, you're gone,
We have to accept this fact
But it's so hard to think
That you're not coming back.
A beautiful person,
Face, mind, and soul.
An amazing girl,
Who loved the world as a whole.
We had you a while,
But you were just on loan,
We're hurting, Paige,
But you've finally gone home.

Alyssa Paige Slape was killed in a car accident on her way to Ponca, Arkansas, on Saturday morning, May 24th. She was sixteen years old. She hit the corner to fast, lost control and ended up sideways in the other lane. She was t-boned by another car, and died on impact. She was beautiful, she was kind, she was loving, she was my close cousin. I miss her so much, but i know that God just couldn't do without her by his side. RIP, Paigey, I love you.
