Floating gently on a cloud....

Losing a friend.

What could I have done to prevent this?
Why do things go as they do?
I don’t know why we must say goodbye,
All I know is I will always love you.

You were my friend...are my friend,
In my heart that will always be.
But your mom took the final decision,
I wish I could know why she hates me.

We gave each other so many hugs,
I was there for you and you always gave my soul a lift.
It is so sad to see us pulled apart in this way,
Will we ever be able to cross this rift?

Is there nothing I can do to make it all better?
I feel so lost and alone.
And though now you are unable to hear me,
My heart just for you does moan.

God brought us together, He gave us each a gift:
A gift so precious,  it makes gold looks cheap.
Now we must go our separate ways to live,
But you are still in my heart, so deep.

For the last time I will hug you,
A big bear hug like we used to.
I hope you will always remember
Me and the way I love you.

Very moving.  I just lost my best friend a couple of weeks ago.  We are all here for such a short time.

The memories will never die
a friends love will always fly
through the sunsets of every night
in our dreams they touch us in flight.

Worry not your precious heart
love grasp piercing like a dart
know yourself and know your friend
nothing can take away till the very end.

I loved your poem.  I made me think about how important friendship really is.  I lost a friend about a week ago because my mother didn't approve of us being friends, but hang in there, it will all work out for the best.  Remember, God does everything for a reason.

ESP- beautiful poem that pains the heart.  To lose anyone, in anyway, whom you love is a terrible hurt.

Death is not the end.
It is like going into the next room.
Or just around the corner out of sight.
They are there just....waiting.

Hugs to you
