Missing My Friend Becca

I miss my friend Becca Even before she is gone She had thought this a safe place Free from conflict Judgment A place where all can freely express Where have all the past poets gone Do any of their words still echo in our minds Do they disappear into obscurity Who is left to sing their praises I will sing for Becca I will stand up for my friend I will stand beside my brother Freddie I will continue to breath their words Feel their hearts beat within my chest They matter They command my attention Their words and spirits have significance So I will miss my friend Becca I will shed a tear for a heart that is broken For good friends are hard to find She is worthy of being missed Today I say goodbye I wish for her to live in a land of smiles A place where dreams are realized She deserves no less She offered us her best The essence of a soul Expressed through precious words I miss her already Before she has gone Maybe it's not too late.
