This poem I wrote for my cousin, she died at 21 years old from cancer. I visited her house five years after her death and her room was still intact.
Your bedroom's a museum's artifact.
No dust, perfectly it stands.
To walk your room is to feel you.
Your smell is impregnated on your
pillow. Your clothes, hang in
harmony. Your room radiates peace.
In the center of the wall is Jesus
at the cross. What a beautiful room
you have! You have everything in your
room. Everything except you.

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

This is very touching, that someone would care enough to write such a personal loving tribute. God Bless You.

"When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey."
