A Friend

A friend has passed A Long struggle with the big C A fighter she was A cheery face she put on A painful plight A fight till the end A spirit and light that will shine eternal A friend we won’t see A God that has embraced her in His arms A friend that will live in our hearts; blessed be

I can relate to this. Similar such moment where we had to be strong has come in our lives. Longer our friend lives in all our hearts. Your words are the echoes of our hearts' missed beats.

Dearest Carmen, Great Poem I heard a quote the other day, that your friend is not truly dead till all your friends lives who she touched are also dead! I agree she is with God~ not a thing to weep over. So glad you had a great friend. Be happy for her. She is waiting to see you again. Your poem touches our hearts. C has taken many from us. Bless you. Panagiota

A wonderful tribute. My heart goes out to you Carmen - my father is battling this horrid disease thankfully he has no pain but he is terminally ill which is so so hard to bear. Hugs jan xxx
