Rebecca

goodbye to you my faithful friend
such an unexpected loss
a sorrow from which I will never mend
all too brief was the life you lived
so much more to learn and love and give

the memory of you will always stay
within my thoughts
never fading away
the smile you gave
the heartfelt words
the joyous laugh so often heard
memories are falling now like a much needed rain
nourishing a broken heart now feeling the pain
of losing you and all we shared
it always showed how much you cared

only God knows why and understands
our lives he holds within his hands
I’ll look for you on a distant shore
where the sun will set on us no more
where the light of God forever shines
and Rebecca’s love again I’ll find

goodbye

Mark,

Your poetry reflects the pain,
the sadness of your loss.

Hugs to you...
