After the tragic death of Renee Nicole Good on Tuesday, it didn't take long for the narrative to become political. In the process, the life of Ms. Good was lost in the rhetoric. When I looked into who this woman was, I learned that she was a mother, a writer, and a graduate of Old Dominion University. After discovering that, I penned a simple poem in her honor.

Ode to Renee
She was a writer, a poet, a mother of three,
in that regard she was a lot like me.
But when Renee drove out on the street that day
she was shot in her car trying to drive away.
An American citizen who tried to do right,
has now too soon entered the kingdom of light.
Godspeed to you, dear brave Renee,
may Eternity allow us to meet one day.
V.L.
