Heaven split open and a girl fell through
Down to the earth she landed
You’ve never seen such a beautiful she
Such loveliness had been commanded
The birds gave song and the flowers swooned
Whenever she passed them by
You’ve never seen such a beautiful she
With a heart of gold upon high
She loved every soul and nary a one
Had anything cruel to say
You’ve never seen such a beautiful she
She made hearts make merry and play
Like a clear running stream so tender and sweet
She moved with a poise and grace
You’ve never seen such a beautiful she
Nor you’ll never see such a face
She had that touch, the power to heal
And the masses came to her asking
You’ve never seen such a beautiful she
She said ‘in the light you’re already basking’
She gave of herself to all who would listen
Such wisdom, mementoes and pearls
You’ve never seen such a beautiful she
She opened up like a sail that unfurls
Can you remember a time when we had
A queen at the powerful gate.
You’ve never see such a beautiful she
One that banished all sadness and hate.
The time came when a voice said softly and smooth
It’s time that you flew to the stars
You’ve never seen such a beautiful she
God said you are finished, you are ours.
Your metaphors and similes describe someone you loved deeply who meant the world to you. My only regret is that you wrote it after she died and not before, when she could bask in your words.
