My friend, Jen, recently passed away. I wanted to talk to her one last time.
7.6.21
Jen
Our friendship was new
But our souls connected
You touched my life
Your qualities left their imprint
Humility, Courage, Tenacity
Wit, Grace, Authenticity
I will always remember you
When my sails were torn and tangled
And stormy seas thrashed me about
You threw me a life preserver
Thank you
When we last spoke you said
You don’t have to be cured to be healed
You knew you were healed
That comforts me now
I smile, thinking of you hanging with the angels
Chuckling at our earthly chaos and confusion
Grinning your Cheshire Cat grin
I won’t say goodbye, but farewell
Fare well in your new life, my friend
I pray we meet again one day
