A Dirge to a Golden Princess
The golden princess now sits pretty with her Lord
In her wake is a village of mourners
Those gathered cried a river
As they sang songs of a dearly departed
Her kindness and selfless service was on a signboard
Depicting a service to humanity and the world
Praises and accolades filled the whiteboard
Sterling achievements her gain and reward
Death, where is thy sting?
Oh grave you have been brought to your knees by a mighty sword the great book records
Her soul and spirit risen and restored
Met by royal emissaries from abroad
Now at the feet of her maker and Lord
Laying prostrate with angels in one accord
About this poem
It's about my friend who passed recently. It's my way of immortalizing her.
