Just something to share

[Guest guest]

I know I already told you about the passing of my brother-in-law and I hope you

don't mind me sharing one more thing. Since my husband and I can't go to the

funeral I dug up a poem I'd written a long time ago when I lost a dear friend I

never titled it, but it helped me deal with my loss and I'm going to send it

with my sister-in-law to share with the family...

~Untitled~

The rain fell like crystal tear drops

Drenching the flowers that surrounded you

My own tears joined them like silent streams

Flowing onto my chin and falling to the ground

The very ground that will cover you soon

Like a thick blanket against the cold

And I think to myself of what I'll miss most

As they lower you into the earthen bed

Your laughter, your smile, or your face

For I know my memory will grow faulty

I may even forget your name

But in this moment you're in my heart

And as I say farewll my friend

Like these raindrops of crystal

I'll see you in the sky...................
