The Slippers

With foggy mind and matted hair My feet adorned the holiday pair. One red, one green at Christmas time when eventually, I'd lose... my mind. I wish I could make Some sense of it all I shuffled along Down the dimly lit hall. The loss in my spirit The pain in my heart, I loved you my friend ... til death due us part. I'll miss how you smiled With bright, white teeth Laughing along in this world Great joy to those you meet. But today I will say my last good-bye, Until we meet again that twinkle in your eye. Now I'll gather my thoughts Ask my mind to clear I'll never forget how You died that year. Then removing the slippers walking straight out the door Good-bye my friend May our sorrow be no more.
