Maria Lopez

Maria Lopez, you used to light the room

With a laugh so wild, like a rose in bloom

You danced through the streets like the queen of July

Now the mirror tells a story, it can't deny

Here's to you, Maria Lopez

The world spun fast, but you held your ground

Every wrinkle is a map of places you've been

And every line's a song the years have penned

The boys would whistle as you passed by the gate

But time's a thief that never hesitates
