Hearts are very delicate things~~~~~
And they get broken so easily~~~~~~
I found out yesterday that a dear friend, a confidante, a closer-than-a-sister-kind of friend whom I had lost touch with over the years, always thinking that I had plenty of time to renew our friendship~~~~passed away~~~~~~
over four years ago.
Why did I wait so long?
Why did I tarry?
Why do I sign each mail with
Remember.......you are loved.......
and don't follow that love on through?
What must I do to be a better friend?
And will Gail ever know just how much I loved her?
Remembering Gail~~~
Things I wouldn't tell
another living soul~~~
I shared with her.
Intimate and personal,
Things out of my control
I would prefer
To forget those sins~~~
Those times of "abject doubt",
Those things I never wanted
anyone to know could be found out,
Yet~~~of her love and trust
I was so sure~~~~~
For our friendship could never end~~~
We would endure.
We watch our children grow together
and we shared
Those kids lives, and loves
and chicken pox,
we were not spared !!!
We laughed until our cheeks hurt,
and our tears
would flow unheeded ~~~
Joys and sorrow shared
Through all those years.
Time and circumstances change
and as we grow,
Sometimes apart, it has to be,
And yet we know~~~
The love we share will live
through all life's years
And news of my friend's Death
will bring back tears~~~
Regretting what I should have done,
but never did,
Always thinking "another day"
would grant more time,
"Heaven Forbid !!!!!"
That I should ever ever
Let another day
Slip by unless I say
remember.....
You are loved !!!
Dear Lord, I Pray,
Never let me forget
The love we shared~~~~
For I was Bless with such a friend,
One who really cared.
