~~*~~
She had been their bright shining light.
She glowed like a lantern with comforting warmth.
At first, she had been an outsider.
One of the several who circled the four and was not quite one of them.
The Soobies were a tight group.
Then her real family came to lay claim her.
With a bitter attitude and hate, they tried to force her to go with them.
Then the Scoobies formed a wall of protection around her.
She knew then she had found a family created in love.
Tara shines no longer as a bullet of hate extinguished her light.
