Friends Forever

Friends Forever Little did I know that so early you'll leave and go A friend like you is so hard to find yet you left so quickly leaving me behind It was not your choice but God's own will he took your soul and made you still To heaven he called you indeed a better place there he'll keep you with love and grace From this world you are gone yet still, in my heart you will live on, forever. Dedicated to my 11 year old friend Shaniece who died on Tuesday in a car accident. You will always be there in my heart.....*Love Maryam

Hi Maryam, this is so beautifully and lovingly written. My mom died this past Saturday, I know well the pain of losing a loved one. My heart goes out to you in your loss. You have written a wonderfully inspiring tribute to your friend, I know she is smiling right now. :) Blessings and thanks also for the kind comments you left for "Sing of Spring." :) Amy
