To My Friends
They have walked a world apart.
I watch them work in blackest soot
Lighthearted they try and act
As they step over and around that
which was my life.
They are there as they will always be
As they have always done.
Helping and staying with me.
This task is above all the worst
I have ever asked them to do.
Here they are, in boots and gloves
With bags and boxes... trying
desperately to save that which I have lost.
Trying to make it as best as they can.
I cry as I watch them....
As I remember . . . my friends
They were there when I moved back
After a long slow heartbreak.
I was in the wrong in the first place
But they stood with me and helped me
They were there when Jon was born
As I waited in the hospital for them,
I, myself was more happy for them to
see him... I wanted to share this with them.
They were there after my car accident
Nothing to serious but all shook up
And they stayed with me...
goofing around to entertain me.
They were there when I got married
Most of them got lost, but they came
All the way for a casual wedding
Just because I needed them there.
And I have share of their lives ...
Heartaches and loss, love and gain.
This time I watch, unable to help
As they do when I have dreaded for days.
They have walked into my own
Nightmare... and they went with me.
They walk a world apart ... and
For that alone I am thankful.
Help us stay afloat during Leukemia treatment... All help is appreciated more than you will ever know. Thank you!
