The Best of Us

I've written this poem for a friend who passed away this weekend... RIP Gretchen. You will be missed. Condolences and prayers to your loved ones. Blessings, love and light. The best of us By Michelle Morris 15/02/2023 Now that you're gone It feels like a light has gone out In our world; in our Universe Stopping time; stopping hearts You were the best part of us You were my best friend Beloved and remembered With fondness and mourning Your suffering did not go unnoticed By God and His Angels They've taken you into Heaven To be in God's warm embrace Our family has lost your sparkle But Heaven shines a little brighter We have faith that we'll meet once more When it's time for our souls to take flight Now that you're gone The colours feel less bright The moon looks so much sadder now She mourns the stars at night You remain the best of us A star lighting up the heavens We will hold your memory close And let our love remain neverending © Michelle Morris, 2023
