Beth and Cheryl

My friend,my dearest ally I wait in agony for your call To see how much you can take And how much I can take You are very ill,this I know But the thought of losing you Off of this earthly plateau Is more than I can paint in a picture Or write in a journal Even sing about in a sad Gut-wrenching song I'm not ready And yet I await your call I know and you know too That my love for you my friend Will be with you without question I would hold your barren head Against my chest Speak to you in soothing tones Describe for you what's outside your window We will talk of motorcycle rides Children growing up and away And the men we adore yet get annoyed with We shall laugh and tell Funny stories of the past Even talk glowingly of the future In the long run when hope wanes And fear is abundant I will send up a desperate prayer To the heavens above Provide comfort and show courage For my friend you still have much life to live We still have many memories to make Hope and strength are what we are made of now Still, I feel lonely As I wait for your call
