For My Friend J. F.
Sometimes things just happen in life we can't quite explain.
The loss of a loved one can cut like a knife causing unbearable pain.
I know you've felt you were at the end of your rope, but kept on.
And you nearly gave up hope, preferring to be all alone.
I look at your pretty picture and smile because you're a beautiful soul.
Your daughters make life worthwhile because they pulled you from that dark hole!
It's hard for me to comprehend, but I often think of you.
Hearts don't break, but bend and I'll be there regardless what you're going through.
To show you I love and care, I reach toward the sky and pull you down a star;
And your burdens I will bare no matter how intense they are!
I know you're a little suspicious and shy because I'm just an inmate
I'm a passionate guy and your love, friendship, and correspondence I'd appreciate!
I'm entitled to mistakes and I'm not perfect, never claimed to be;
And there will never be no heartache in the friendship discovered in me!
So my friend give me a chance, and I'll show you something new.
I'll even teach you to dance, and whatever else you would like to do!
Let me bring this to a close, and let you think about what I said.
I send a gentle kiss to your nose and one to your forehead!
*To a beautiful woman and friend...Janette
