Friends Forever

Friends Forever
   

Little did I know
that so early
you'll leave and go

A friend like you 
is so hard to find
yet you left so quickly
leaving me behind

It was not your choice
but God's own will
he took your soul
and made you still

To heaven he called you
indeed a better place
there he'll keep you
with love and grace

From this world you are gone
yet still, in my heart
you will live on,
forever.

 

Dedicated to my 11 year old friend Shaniece who died on Tuesday in a car accident. You
will always be there in my heart.....*Love Maryam

Hi Maryam, this is so beautifully and lovingly written. My mom died this past Saturday, I know well the pain of losing a loved one. My heart goes out to you in your loss. You have written a wonderfully inspiring tribute to your friend, I know she is smiling right now. :) Blessings and thanks also for the kind comments you left for "Sing of Spring." :) Amy
