About the Poem

This poem is about a friend of mine who died. Her death was quite sudden and is still hard for me to accept. Every time I see a rose I think of her, which is why I picked Rosebud for my pen name. Even now, I still need her. I miss you Diana!

Diana

by Rosebud

You truly were an angel
sent from God in heaven above.
Your shocking death just broke the hearts of everyone you loved.
When I found out that you had died
I thought that they were wrong.
You were so alive - 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 we shed many tears.
But still you are 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 goes 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 will forget you
And I love you, and goodbye.

I realy enjoyed reading this poem, as i have just recently lost my uncle, i know that this poem has been written for a friend, but i feel that it still applies to the way i feel. I miss my uncle loads and I love him To pieces, and i would do anything to get him back. So i understand the way you feel.

Your poem reminded me so much of my mother, who's name is also Diana. And her wedding ring was a rose with a diamond in the middle. She passed away 7 years ago in April, and it too came as a shock. I really enjoyed your writing.

Right now I'm here, missing a friend and a coworker who was killed by a drunk driver on June 13 2004. I miss him soooo much and it's really hard for me to understand that he is gone. He was really white (pale) and he reminded me of a white rose so when I read the poem it just reminded me of him and how much I'll miss him.

Diana

This was excellent, a friend of mine just passed away two days ago. This fit very well. What a coincidence my name is also Diana though.

Rose

This poem is a great reflection of the life of my best friend whom past away 6 days before Christmas on Dec 19, 2003. She was 24 years old and expecting her 1st child. She was beautiful both inside and out. Her death came without notice and we are all learning to cope with this tradegy and this poem really inspired me.

Eliazabeth

Jamie

I loved your poem. My cousin died in a car accident Nov. 5, 2003. She loved nature especially roses. They were passed out at the funeral. Like you a rose will always remind me of her. Thank you for sharing your poem it means a lot to me.
