Janelle Barker Poet Rhyme

My Mate Andy

Sad to see you go my friend,
You are now in a better place
The friendship we had 
Was not fake.
I didn’t know you for very long
But blessed to have met you
When I did,
That cheeky smile of yours
Was off the grid.
I can’t explain why I connected 
So deeply to you.
You loved your jelly
Because you didn’t
Have to chew.
I helped you all I could
From a cleaner’s point of view,
But the last time I saw you,
That was when I just knew.
I sat with you and ran my 
fingers through your hair,
You fell asleep and 
Gave me a scare.
Knowing it was the last time
To see you alive
Your eyes giving me
Recognition of, I’m off 
To see my son and wife.
Silently you went
With your daughter by your side
Her emotions roar
She could not hide.
Rest in peace my dear friend
I’m sad your time
Came to an end.
