Best Friend
A friendship had started one day on the phone
When I first met Marlene, I didn’t feel alone,
She asked me those questions in a phone interview
When I thought to myself, “what the hell do I do?”
You gave me a chance to become one of them
Become a new leader and join SCM,
Within months I would join you to work in HR
You would teach me and praise me and make me a star,
You are strong in your wisdom and quiet in your drive
You encourage all others to reach what they strive,
You are open to challenge and all things alike
For example the time that you rode ‘kiddie bike’
Always a friend and a coach and a mentor
You guided the team to see what they were there for,
You were able to help them to work through their day
Support them and hear what they all had to say,
Connections don’t happen without a good reason
Friendships don’t grow without special season,
And I will always remember how much you cared
Best Friend, good buddy all the times that we shared.
