Marilyn

I stand here in Heaven now 
Looking down at the World I knew 
Marilyn, my dear friend for so long 
You were the Gift that grew and grew 

Nothing was too much for you 
Your love and friendship kept me sane 
No matter what the situation was 
You found a way to help the pain

And as I lay there in that bed 
Month after month going by 
You came to see me every day 
You helped and always smiled 

Even when I lost my way
Almost gave up on my Faith 
You brought me flowers to cheer me up 
And remind me of God's Grace 

I may not have understood 
The Part He had for my Life 
But now that I'm on the other side 
I can laugh and feel the Light

We humans certainly don't have the answers 
We fail and fall but keep on trying each day 
We believe and hold Hope like a fragile thing 
Not always able to fathom its Powerful ways 

For all the traumas and the challenges 
The triumphs and the tears
I am ever grateful for it all
Especially with you to calm my fears

Thank you for being there for me 
Thank you for being an Angel from Heaven
Thank you for your kindness and support 
Thank you for every blessing 

In time we'll meet again up here 
I'll show you my favourite places
God and His Angels give us Love
They show us Mercy and Grace 

And yes, I stand here in Heaven now 
I never want to lie down again 
I am humbled and blessed to have known you 
Oh, Marilyn, my dearest friend
