Did we do the right thing?
 Will she forgive us?  

  I lay here in the tall tall grass
   Looking up at the blue sky above
   Asking these questions
   Hoping for the right answer
   But what is the right answer? 
 Should I be proud of the life she lived
   Or should I grieve for the life we have to live Without her.
  —poem by Chandra Duba
