Rebekah Poem by Angela Wybrow

Rebekah



You're the brightest star up in the sky;
Up with the angels, your soul now flies.
From this world, you may be gone,
But your feisty spirit still lives on.

To so many, you were a true inspiration;
Your courageous fight touched the nation.
You left this world far too young;
By many folk, your praises were sung.

You were truly beautiful inside and out;
That you'll be missed, there's no shadow of doubt.
You could light up a room with your smile.
For others, you would go that extra mile.

By so many you were loved and adored -
We all so hoped you would win your war.
Your positive attitude was so contagious;
Your fight was spirited and courageous.

Up to Heaven your soul took flight -
You're a twinkling star, shining so bright.
Even though we're now worlds apart,
You will live forever deep in our hearts.

You were one in a million - a gem so rare.
Your early departure seems so hard to bear.
Death can't extinguish your dazzling light.
Goodnight Rebekah - we hope you sleep tight.
