Good Bye Dear Friend

Author: Unknown

Everything in this life is ours, briefly.
Those we love are sometimes taken too soon.
My mind hasn't wrapped around your parting,
I think as I stare at the haloed moon.

I have all these fond memories of you,
when we were struggling to find some peace.
Trying to make sense of broken dreams then,
and learning to make the craziness cease.

Know I will miss you with all of my heart!
Thank you for being the friend that you were.
I'll always remember the blessings shared,
and I'll not allow those fine lines to blurr.

About this poem:

In memory of a very special woman: Donna W. Dear friend of 22 years. I found out tonight my dear friend had passed from an ongoing struggle with lung disease. The end came quickly and it's a reminder to us all to live well, laugh often and love without condition. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the sister's passing. If there is someone you haven't forgiven in this life, do it. If someone seeks forgiveness from you, grant it. It's a win win situation. A moment of silence for all of us feeling the sting of loss right now. Blessings.

THANK YOU POET AND SERENITY. Much appreciated your warm thoughts and kindness. I wrote this short tribute last night, just after getting the news. I needed to connect with other sensitive hearts and put into words (as best I could) what was in my heart. A surreal night to say the least. I am gratefut for the loving circle of friends that I have in my life, both here on CS and here at home. time heals all wounds. It's just that some take a bit longer. Blessed be and know that your words DID lend comfort. Thank you with all my heart. Celtic

Hi, CelticPoet12,
In sympathy for your loss.

CelticPoet12OPPrescott, Arizona USADec 4, 2012

THANK YOU All for your kind support. It's been a very difficult day and I am processing all of this. Tomorrow will be better and thank God time is the wonderful healer that it is. I am very tired right now and just wanted to let everyone know how much this message meant to me. So sweet. I'm going to bed early to recharge my battery. Bless you all. You're awesome, caring, and I am very touching in return by how many of you commented. I am so honored for the love. I really am. Celtic

What a coincidence that these two events happened side by side. I so miss my sister and now my dear friend will keep her company. WOW, it just happens that way sometimes. HUGS

my my my, of all the beauty wrapped in a sadness, I look and see such beautiful gladness.
As you write from reaching the heart, lightness glows upon your path, you see its yours and hers, as she is your angel.
What she evolves is what you gave,she and you will never ever be alone.

love Soph
