Lisa

For my dear friend Lisa Wheeler. I miss you.


I have no pretty words
that would help to ease your worry.
There's nothing I could say
that would take away your pain.
I can feel your fear and sadness
when I look into your eyes.
I have but only one question
and that is Why Dear God Why.

Lisa I will be here
no matter what you may need.
Rest assured my precious friend
you can always count on me.

I will hold your hand
for as long as you need.
I will stay be your side
Until you tell me to leave.
I will kneel by your bed
and pray while you sleep.
That God will give you the
peace you so desperately need.

I Love You my Friend
much more than you know and 
I have no intentions of ever letting you go
You have made your place
in my heart and that's where you'll stay.
I will cherish every memory of you
for the rest of my days.
