Bella

1987-2017

She was my friend, she died too young,
In just a blink her life was gone.
Her heart quit beating, drew her last breath.
Her heart beats on with mine in death.

We never met, lived miles apart
Her memory still tugs at my heart.
She was my friend, she died too young
And yet, in me, her heart lives on.
Rest in peace, Sweet Bella.

How sad when the flame of life gets snuffed before our time, I think she hears you from over there David, well done

Thank you. I'm sure she's watching over me every day.
