Poem
I buried my best friend long ago But it feels like it was yesterday I miss calling her on the phone I miss talking to her each and every day. That was one of my saddest days One of the saddest days of my life I didn't want to say goodbye to her I still wanted her here in my life. It was a funeral of women as far as the eye could see It was funeral of color No black was worn or seen. Your friends came dressed in their finery You would have laughed if you could had seen Crazy colors of hats and wacky clothes The wildest combinations of color I had ever seen. Hats and Boas and outlandish jewels Feathers were everywhere Your mother even had hired stretch Limos to chauffeur us everywhere. It was a celebration of the life of a beloved friend Every person, every woman that was in sight Thought that you had been their Best Friend. I miss you my friend I miss you I miss you every day I miss having you in my life I can't even begin to say in how many ways. I think about you when I see a butterfly I think about when it rains I think about when I am sad and cry I think about you when I hear laughter I'll miss you until the day I die I hope to see you in the ever after. Cancer came and took you away It wasn't fair or right And I sit here and I still can't believe your gone I sit here and miss you On so many days and nights. I wish that you were here to laugh with me To laugh until we cried I wish that you were here to talk too About our daily lives. I wish that you were here to commiserate To inspire each each other in what we create The way that we used to do The way that most artists do. I miss you. I miss you. I wish that you were here Especially at the Holidays Especially this time of year. You were the one friend The one true friend I've had That again I may never have I am so very grateful and thankful For all the good times that we had I cherish every moment For all of those I am truly glad. Every day I think of you And how you have influenced my life How you have made me a better person How you have inspired and shaped my life. And I know that each of those Women Those women that were there to say Goodbye Each and every one of those women Felt the same way as I. We all loved you and we miss you You were a best friend to each of us in your own way Each of us thought that you were our best friend And I know that forever each of us will remember you in that way.
