The Content of Becky's
Song
Dearest Becky
We are gathered here
all of us together to honour you
and all that you accomplished in your young life
With broken hearts we join your Mum and Dad
your dearest sister and all your friends
to share their pain and express our own
We know we can never know your own or theirs
But we do know how courageous you were
With every step you reached new heights
We see you dancing, speaking and acting
in your own name
excelling in your studies
in your chosen field
in your relations and adventures
making us all proud
In the moment of our loss, of profound sorrow
we see you Becky like the morning light
Your spirit imbues us with the joy of spring
the energy of new horizons
Often you went where angels fear to tread
Despite difficulties too much to bear
you will remain with us forever
as one who imbues us with hope
Your humanity omnipresent
you contributed to society
to opening its path to progress
In your striving for a world where peace prevails
you uplifted all our lives
you brought us joy, laughter and so much love
All of this dearest Becky and much more
became the content of your song
Dearest Becky
We hear your song
This world can and will be transformed
so that all human beings can flourish and thrive
so that those who suffer pain beyond their means
can set their course without regret of any kind
Dearest Becky
Though our hearts are broken
the content of your song propels us forward
We are proud to sing your song
Together, we will always sing your song
Rest in peace dear Becky
Farewell
