Juju...I wrote this a while back. Will it still work for your challenge? ~*~ Gloria you thought G-L-O-R-I-A was created just so you could dance dance you did all 5-2 and eyes of blue of you your shy pulled my shy like magnets we were inseparable, the late 60’s belonging to our memories I miss you! I was your lean and lanky to your petite and pretty… Your father took you on his transfer, even after pleas to please let you stay three years the longest time ever in one place, brat that you were, the AF claimed him, but O to finish high school with friends of the girl who had the Sandy/Sammy eyes of blue, your shy shimmered away in laughter at my wry comments that only you understood making me feel even that much taller so I never wore heels around your wearing heels because we really belonged on the same level you and I… we were best friends and still would be… I sent a pink rose bush to your mother as anger at your father’s decision didn’t let me do anything but acknowledge “Mrs. & Family…” but I really knew her better than him and was ashamed after at my disrespect your father needed his family…I understood why he wouldn’t allow mine to guardian you to finish school… he had served his time in ‘Nam and needed to hug all tight… sometimes survivors do that… I sent a living reminder of you after we had separated, school behind us, some college behind us, me a newlywed, alone in the house when your mother called “because you were her best friend,” in short simple words as was her Appalachian background she outlined your having gone to church to share your love of God to the students, she was so proud of this act, that you were teaching others to follow in His footsteps part of you, oh so part of you… how the semi came out in front of you, how she missed you. She just wanted me to know. I hung up, and screamed why! why! immediately coming to mind only the good die young but you were past young, oh God! You were only 21…. I sent a living pink rose bush to commemorate your memory and hoped your Dad, or one of your five brothers would plant it they did. The following year your mother called, “you were her best friend,” and said that year the rose bush bloomed beautiful… pink, and red, roses. I always enjoyed red roses. I still miss you. I plant pink, and red roses. |

i wrote this one a while ago... The Next Step -To Kieran, for graduation. Into the unknown the journey begins Blackness on all sides, confusion- Which way does the wind blow, I’ll follow it. I am, I am, I am That child lost without his mothers Hand to guide him through the dark Night. Remember all the nights We lost our way only to be found By the sun as it peeked across the Horizon. Remember that one night Where you found me. Bleeding on The bathroom floor, wanting to be Lost forever. But you found me. You made sure I would never be Lost again. And so we close this chapter- And I can’t help but think our story ends here. And I can’t help it, but I know, our story ends here. |

here ya go - my chocolate lab (a triolet from archives) Best friend asleep beneath a stone Velvet coat my finger trace Darkness falls, I am alone Best friend asleep beneath a stone Hazel eyes and stoic bone Sweet breath caress upon my face Best friend asleep beneath a stone Velvet coat my finger trace |

My Special Friend You've been gone eleven years So much has passed since then But still the memories are strong Of you and I back when Our friendship was a special thing It haunts me to this day Though time has passed, the love remains Since you went away I hold your memories, oh, so close Here inside my heart And wonder why you feel so near When we're so far apart A boy, a girl, they can't be friends Or so some people say But I know their wrong, 'cause I lost my friend The day you went away |
