At first just friends and now a pair,
in more ways than one.

Grace smiles at strength and speed at beauty,
and each sees more than love.

Together they can take on the world,
and have and won.

Strength carries beauty across the ice,
until the very end.

But alas, the end comes too soon,
Strength is gone and beauty stands alone.

We weep with her.
