My Dearest, Loving Friend


To see you in another world…

To think I can!

To know I will!

A world that holds the greatest mem’ries

Of laughing, loving,

And of you, my

Dearest, kindest friend.

 

I understand why you would leave

This chaos and confusion.

You are happier! Without doubt,

Without the darkness to hold you back

From where you want to be.

 

But one thing, the only thing

That only I would question:

Why did you not take me with you

To save me from a loss?

To keep me from this empty space

Where treasures used to be?

 

You know I’ll try to do my best

To live my life without you.

I’ll be the best, or try my hardest

To be happy for you.

 

You watch me from upstairs, you hear?

I know that you can hear me.

You’ll understand my problems

And you’ll let your spirit follow me,

Protect me, and help others

As I go along my way.

 

Right?

 

I’ll promise that I’ll not forget you.

I’ll keep you in my heart.

Your soul will live forever

And bring us all together

To sing a happy tune.

 

You know that we all love you.

And are happy for you now.

We all care for you, know this!

And loved it when you smiled each day.

We hope that you enjoy it,

That glorious place called Heaven,

And we want you to know this:

That we still love you each day!
