For My Friend

There are people who enter this world and automatically make it a much better place. Such is the case with a friend of mine here at AC. I won't reveal her name, but she knows who she is. We have become sisters of the heart in the short time we've known one another. I love her dearly!

Go gently, my friend, into the morrow.

Release all the pain; forget the sorrow.

Your spirit remains safe inside God's heart

Since that's where it came from right from the start.

Your courage will grow and make you stronger

For you're n'er alone; not any longer.

Please hear my heart beat in tune with your own.

It's a reward for the love you have shown.

Feel my arms encircle with affection

Lending you courage through our connection.

Hear all my prayers on behalf of your case.

Your life is one that shall not be erased.

Your grace and beauty are there for us all

That's why I know you can avoid this fall.

Believe in yourself as I freely do.

Feel all the love I'm sending just for you.

Know whatever I have that you can use

Is right there for you to take, if you choose.

No matter what, our friendship will prevail.

You've given it wings so that it can sail.

I love you truly, that is a mere fact.

My admiration will remain in tact.

Go gently, my friend, with your heart so pure.

Know your legacy will always endure.
