Members onedaysoon Posted January 29, 2012 Members Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 The Ultimate FriendGuiding me in words and actions so plainGuiding me in ways I cannot explainYou were the truest of friendsAlways there for me until the bitter endPushing me to grow, expand and change,Nudging me in directions that were truly strangeYou helped and supported me, holding my handLeading me on a path to something more grandI never got to truly thank you as should have been your duebut only because you left me before I was throughYou just up and died on that sunny August dayMy heart was ripped out ... I stumbled, almost lost my wayYou prepped everyone that you knewYour day was coming, your body was throughThrough fighting and hurting, I'm glad you're not in painBut that doesn't help with my guilt and shameI should have been there during your last daysBut you didn't want me to worry, that was just your way.Selfless as usual, even at the endDeep down I know that you were just being a good friend.How bad you had gotten, I didn't knowYou wouldn't tell me so I could continue to grow.I was in school full-time, working and raising my fourAs you quickly and quietly slipped your foot in the doorThe door to your future, one temporarily without meThe one that led you to God and magnificent beautyYour mom called me with a very heavy heartShe told me your new journey was about to start.I raced to the hospital the following dayKnowing that I didn't have a clue what to say.You were the one, so good with wordsI knew I had to say something, I had to be heard.You were holding on to life, dealing with the painJust so I could see you once againYou told me you loved me, I told you backI told you to let go, to stop fighting the attackBody under attack, you weren't the person I knewBut in a small miracle, I was able to see thoughAll the pain and suffering you had enduredI saw you in my mind before you incurredThis horrible disease that took you from meI thank God for letting me seeI drove home that day with a heavy heartKnowing that it would be time for a fresh startA start of a life, one without youI didn't know what to think or what I would doI had promised you I'd shine, that I'd make it throughYou left me that night, but little did I knowYou had worked to take care of me, to help me growYou had your friends come around to check on meSo I wouldn't be alone, so that I could seeThat you would always be there, just in a different senseIn their own special ways they reminded me of the lady by the fenceThe one I met twelve years agoThe one who helped out and watched me growUnselfish you were, The Ultimate FriendI will remember you until my time on Earth ends.<br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
