A Rising Star Poem by Wilfred Mellers

A rising star’s light has been distinguished in the heavens today. Twenty-seven years the light shined on the world. Two months you knew yet it could not be helped. A swift wind blew the light from your candle. No more its beauty will gleam amongst the heavenly bodies. So short-lived this soul gone but never will be forgotten. Taken from us this day on your journey to the ever after. You have gone to be with our ancestors. May they embrace you in their loving arms and welcome you.

Such a strange time to leave us but no one knows when they will be beckoned home. We have no choice but to answer the call. We wish her well and we shall meet again one day for energy cannot be destroyed.

We will remember your laughter and joy when we reminisce about the good times. We will miss you dearly. Our thoughts, our hearts, and prayers will be your parents. God bless you Enia Douglas Mellers. Farewell and peaceful journey to you. Rest in peace for you at God’s side now.

To my niece 1980 – 2007
