Remember Edie

The stinging pain

of the loss of a friend,

the one you swore

you'd love to the end

 

You claimed her when

she was young and bold,

never thinking without her

you would grow old

 

She gave you strength

when you wanted to cry,

and licked the tears

that flowed from your eyes


She's still in your heart

but gone from this earth,

She's soaring with angels

in a place of rebirth

 

The golden beams of sunlight

have kept her on her path,

above the clouds and through the stars

She hears the angels laugh

 

So, smile and hold tight

the precious memories of your friend,

the one you still love

to the very end.

 

Sincerely, Kimi
