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!
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.

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.
