Sonia Convery Poet Free verse

For Max

I cried all night when I 

heard you were gone
 
my tears fell 

for you
 
for me 

and for all those
 
touched and taken by 

this terrible disease that
 
you and I had in common
 
Why it takes some of us 

and leaves others
 
God only knows
 
But what I do know is
 
You fought hard
 
And you always had a wave,
 
a smile, and a bit of 

conversation for me
 
Even when you were feeling tired
 
And probably scared
 
Although you never showed it
 
And I will always glance your way
 
And expect to see you sitting on
 
Your back porch 

like you always did
 
And my heart will break a little bit
 
When I realize I won’t see you 

waving and smiling back at me 

Ever again
 
I wish you peace
 
I wish you freedom from your struggles
 
But most of all 

I thank you 

For your kindness and your
 
Inspiration
 
May God bless you and keep you, Mr. Max
 
I miss you already
