Your Promise

Yesterday you said to me
The future brings peace.
I was too young, you see,
To understand
How wise your words.

Yesterday you said to me
The past takes time.
I was too brash, you see,
For patience
Each breath an eternity.

Yesterday you said to me
The future brings prosperity.
I was too stubborn, you see,
For hope
To guide my steps.

Yesterday you said to me
The past is not your path.
I was too timid, you see,
To believe
Each moment worn down.

Today you said goodbye to me.
The present fulfilled your promises.
I am honoured, you see,
To know
The love in your smile.

 

Rest in Peace, Diana. You are missed. You are loved.
