For Sean, My Best Friend

Friend From days of traversing the seas To home and family Together we always were And forever we always will be Then we went our separate ways My life, anew, I married But not you You found your love You heart, your devotion Your were blinded by her secret potion- You did not know, In such a short time Her heart would explode And leave you in an icy Mountain of sorrowful woe A broken man to me you came Your love dead, you couldn’t Even speak her name. Endless nights wandering the streets Your mind, your sanity…self defeat Years you were here To heal, to mend - What never should have been. Under my wing you began to flourish With our friendship, and trust You were nourished. Six years it took for your phantom To cease In our endless talks, You finally found peace. Away you go on your life’s journey Never forget me. I love you, my best friend Eternally yours, and a hand I shall extend For you until the final end. A. Green ** Sean met a woman he fell in love with, after we got out of the Navy. She failed to mention she had a heart condition from birth. She passed away before their wedding day.
