Friends For All Time

For Carolyn D

A friend
For you I am
Like a closest member
Of the family, as you are
To me.

With that
When you're hurt
I feel the pain enter 
But left with no way to make things
Better.

Helpless
Is what I feel
No matter what I say
meaningless words, bring no change, and
I pray.

That God
Shows you the way
To a beautiful place
In the sun, and where within, peace
Will reign.

Dear Caroline, thanks so much for the kind thoughts you expressed so beautifully in this poem. If I do get to Sacramento, I'll make sure to let you know ahead of time. I know eventually, I will rest in peace. Please don't despair, dear, I am coping with this much better now. Love you, Carolyn
