AN: I'm not sure who the people in this poem are really, the teller and the listener, but I suppose it's a mother and child at some point after the books end…

She's the girl who changed everything
The girl who volunteered
Who had more love in her than anyone else ever had
And you've just got to respect her for that
.
It was love darling, never forget it.
.
It was love that made her scream for her sister
Love that made her volunteer
Love that made her walk with her jaw set and her eyes dry onto the train
The one that should have taken her to certain death
(It took her to certain love instead. Maybe lovers really do get all the luck.)
.
It was love darling, never forget it.
.
It was love that made her promise (promise) that she'd win
Love for her sister, for life, for love
And then love saved her again
Love for a boy who maybe she didn't love yet
But he loved her and that was somehow enough, wasn't it?
.
It was love darling, never forget it.
.
And then love saved her yet again
She was on the verge of the unspeakable
The edge of insan-SH! Don't tell darling!
(fire girl was going c-R-a-Z-y)
But he saved her, the bread boy did
He loved her and his love saved her
.
It was love darling, never forget it.
.
It was love darling, never forget it.
That's why you're free.
That's why the Mockingjay survived everything.
It was love darling, don't you dare forget it.
.
It was love darling, never forget it.
