A Poem To Aunty Beryl
You truly were an angel
Sent from god in heaven above.
Your shocking death just broke the hearts of me And everyone who loved you.
When I found out that you had died
I thought that they were wrong.
You were so alive that weekend that I spent with you – and then Just like that, you were gone.
A flame blown out in seconds, Confirming our worst fears –
A light that shines no more on earth For which I will shed many tears.
But you will still be my beacon And I need you right now.
You hear all the prayers I say Because they are answered somehow.
I wish that you could be here,
But in a way you are.
Your symbol of a rose will go everywhere with me, So I know you can’t be far.
It still is quite a shock to me That you had to die;
But no one especially me will forget you I will always love you, good bye.
Love always, Caron
