Backstage
Backstage
In the spotlight or backstage,
She shone bright in every stage,
A girl of drama, of poise and grace,
Her talents brought smiles to every face.
But one day, she left this world,
Her passing left our hearts unfurled,
A great soul taken too soon,
Leaving us to mourn and swoon.
We remember her laughter, her voice,
Her spirit that made us all rejoice,
The way she brought characters to life,
A true artist, a true light.
Though she's gone, her legacy remains,
In every show, in every refrain,
A testament to her talent and heart,
A girl of drama, never to depart.
