Bryanna Jackson Frias

You left us broken-hearted

Not knowing what to do,

But now we find such comfort

In memories of you.

The legacy you left us

Was of happiness and love,

And that shines on forever

From the glorious skies above

You brought joy and beauty

From the moment of your birth,

Now in heaven

You’re an angel

Just as you were on earth.
