I wrote this poem the day when my friend passed away from drowning. She was only fifteen, I miss you angel.
Her name is pronounced as Roh-Day.
It's hard to say, even harder to believe
To think that God took you away
We're all just in complete shock
So I'm going to try my best to put my emotions into words if I may
When the news hit
It dissembled me into pieces
At first I thought to myself that it was all a joke
Stomach queasy and numb
As if a fist went down my throat
It's already difficult to imagine life without you
So tell me God, how's her family going to deal with this too?
I'm not trying to question Your doings
Not trying tell You that You're wrong
I'm just thinking where's the good
In taking a life so young
I'm disgusted in myself to not have taken the time to know her a little more
And I'm torn inside to know her future held so much in store
She was only fifteen
Beyond intelligent and bold
She stood with confidence on her two feet
A remarkable young woman with an incredible soul
Thank you for sharing your life with us
Giving us the pleasure of meeting you
You are now the angel on our shoulders
And I know God opened his arms with ease for you
I promise with everything I have in me
I'm going to see you again someday
But until then,
Rest in Peace Rode.
