You're the sunshine

You're the evening light

You're the stars

You're the velvet night

It's so beautiful, it will never end

But I shall never see this again

I live

In my own little home

In my own little garden

You'll find me

I'll be right there playing pretend

Even if I shall never see this again

She's a queen

But I don't see the wings

Is this what it's like

When life's ending

Will it come to my friends and kin

Hope I shall never see this again

Your long hair

Like saffron fair

I just stare

Do you keep bees in there

Let's walk my friend by the river's bend

For I shall never see this again

I can hear and see

People praying and crying

This is it

I'm aware I'm dying

Close my big gray eyes

With mother I'll make amends

And I shall never see this again

Note: Of Ella for Ella. A song based on somethings actually said by the girl. He father called her the sunshine in his life, hence the first line and he also thought that maby she saw he own death because she often said "I shall never see this again."

Some other things I added like the bees in the hair (of her cousin Olga Romanov) I thought that it would be something a child might wonder. Ella died of Typhoid at age 8.
