A Life Taken Too Soon

A picturesque bed of flowers
but you shined the most
Strong, beautiful, vivid and zestful
A golden soul so restful
The envious angels picked you.
Sad tears glowed like raindrops
The garden became a corpse
Snatched abruptly from this life
Alone as an abandoned beehive
Only comforted with memories alive
