REEVA STEENKAMP: MY TRIBUTE TO YOU

REEVA STEENKAMP:
MY TRIBUTE TO YOU

Year gone by, yet we still remember.
You touched so many with the aura of your presence.  Sweet memories of you;  happiness that you lived.  We remember you with sorrow, grieved that you left.  No word spoken, you just slipped away.

Beautiful, sweet rose
cruelly plucked away.
You left too soon, no final goodbye.
Lustrous, fragile glass
shattered in pieces.
The Lord mend you beautifully, like the day you were first made.

We will see your beautiful smile as we gaze at the morning star.  We will bask in the warmth of your presence whenever the sun shines at day.  You are in a perfect place of safety, yet we still mourn.
Fly away, beautiful one, keep smiling right where you are!
