Be just and fear not

She was beautiful, like a diamond glistening the sun.
The most wonderful woman I've ever known.
Her quality of life was far above the ground.
Everything valued, greed never shown.

Always happy, no sadness within.
Loved life, never stopped giving her all.
In her mind nothing ever impossible.
She appreciated a chat and always would call.

Stricken down, illness.
Strong she was, it overpowered her though.
Disease, pain, suffering, weakness, sickness, loss.
Death won, she was due to go.

Rested beyond the golden arches,
Where angles are born and lay.
Walking through the golden streets she watches action beneath.
Waiting for someone else, to come rest another day.
