Today was an eye opener and tearjerker for me first thing this morning as my phone rang and I answered it at 6:30am.
It took a soothing voice and very special lady to clam me down enough to find some clarity in all I was feeling...and I thank her.
Soon I found myself thinking and writing as I often do.
My words started to come together quicker than I could write.
So, in Loving Memory of my sister/friend, I write this poem.
My Childhood Friend
The loss of a childhood friend
What a message this does send
Closeness once shared by two
Oh how that time flew
Adult years we moved along
Childhood remembered by an old song
The missing years we lost touch
Together again we didn't miss much
Memories I will always hold near
You of course I'll always hold dear
I'm not letting go in any way
Inside my heart you'll always stay
I know your pain has been set free
But you can still confide in me
Send me a sign about your new place
And all those waiting to embrace
The beautiful person I always knew
Along with the friendship always true
RIP Kathy as you will be remembered by many for all the hearts you've touched in your lifetime.
