GONE
Friend so wise and loyal
Gone now, gone
Friend filled with wit and laughter
Gone now, gone
Friend who loved card playing
Gone now, gone
Friend and travel companion
Gone now, gone
Friend and talented artist
Gone now, gone
Pearls in the necklace of my life
Gone now, gone
My heavy heart acknowledges
They're gone now, gone.
Oh I remember the poems you have written for all your friends.. to be left alone in the end... I hope that we can bring some company here at the pub.
ReplyDelete....and that you do, Bjorn. I find solace in this welcoming community!
DeleteOh this one tugs at my heart, Bev. Beautiful, poignant writing.
ReplyDeleteBeverly, when I read this I think of my mom, who has been a gregarious person all of her life. One by one she's seen so many "gone now, gone." I'm sorry you and she have lost so many cherished friends. {{{HUGS}}}
