An Ode To Rachel

She shone within the Sun's realm 
And her beautiful soul danced beneath the light of the moon. 
She had touched my heart with her kindness 
And her devotion had cleansed my soul. 
Her name was Rachel
My Grandmother,my friend 
And it seems like forever that i have missed her 
And will do until my life's end. 
I always wonder why she had been taken so soon, 
At least i had the chance to tell her that i loved her too 
And as each day passes i think of her always 
Imagining what she would look like if her journey of Life 
Was still going strong 
And sometimes i do weep for having lost her  
For i truly wish that she was still here 
Instead of beneath the earth  
And so very distant from me. 
I call her the Rose 
For indeed she was the blooming flower of my Life 
And although she has passed 
I know that her spirit walks beside me 
For i feel a presence, 
I know that it is she 
My guardian,my angel 
My dear Rachel still lives through me.
