* Friends Always

I am your friend to the end she said.
No matter what happens  I will always
be there through the storms life brings.
When your sick I will bring you soup,
making sure you have everything you
need until your back on your feet.

You never have to worry about me not
being there because we are friends always.
I want us to do all the fun things we never
got to do as a child but now we can.
Stay up all night talking, watching movies
that make us cry together you and me.

We will travel to the places we have always
dreamed about but never had a chance to go.
You me laughing, being silly, crying, together.
I am the one you can count on when things
hurt your heart, when you feel you cant go on.
The news came today over the telephone.

It took everything I had to dial your number.
I knew before I called you would be there for
me to help me get through this storm I face.
I dialed your number you answered I told you
the dreaded news I am dying from cancer.

Silence came from your end of the phone I
need you to come over and sit with me I asked.
You said I can't I am busy right now doing my
nails when I finish I will call you and I will come
over to be with you because we are friends always.
She never came her always friend and died alone.

Rhonda, This is sad and powerful... I guess you better call me to let me know that it is not you... Or is it? God, please NO! Your writing excels and your spirit lives through your words. Love, Dane
