Are You Still There

I see you sitting in your chair I ask by myself : Are you still there? I have known you once so strong Seeing you now looks so wrong In your face I see marks of pain Was your long journey in vain? Why can’t you smile anymore? I can’t open your closed door Looking in your empty eyes Once so alive and once so wise Only a body in a chair I see today The person I once knew, went away

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Thank you, Tim. It is sad to realize that a friend is not really there anymore. I think I said good bye with this poem. My friend died a week later.
