A Friend

By countrygirl

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My friend died recently. Losing her hit me in an overwhelming way. I remember crying and thinking it couldn't be. But she had died. And that was the harsh reality. She helped me, my friend, when I had felt so alone. I believe God put her in my path, When everything had seemed so scary and unknown.   My friend hid her fears and sorrows well. But once in awhile you could sense her pain. My friend died recently. And I'll never be the same. I hope someday I can be a friend to someone. The way she was to me, Because I believe she was an angel in disguise. Someone God sent especially to help me.This is all true--My friend was a wonderful, positive person. She always had a smile on her face, even though she suffered from a chronic illness. Written March 15th, 2002 © on Mar 15 2002 01:14 PM PST   18 • 0 • 9
