Notes About The Poem

Our family friend suddenly passed on Thursday. She will be missed. 

From Heavens Tree

The calm of whispering winds among the trees 
the soothing balm upon your skin, the breeze 
the paint upon the canvas falls 
this helped you break down lonely walls

of youthful smiles and promises
when night arrived, it cloaked your loneliness 
your sigh is heard, your soul undressed
missing life's sweet caress

your mind was burdened with duress 
you never wanted to cause them stress
you took it all in your stride 
while turmoil unwanted soon collides

When family and friends deceive 
a wicked web of lies they weaved
you toured the walls for company 
your Facebook friends were friendly and true 
Everyone will now miss you 

I hope your soul is now at rest 
Vicky, you were kind and caring 
your soul and story worth some sharing
and now my friend you are finally free 

Feel the breeze from Heavens tree
Rest in peace from me to you. 
I know you loved me as I did
You.
