Till we meet again (A poem in rememberance of a dear friend)

[The Straight Story]

Till we meet again

You slipped away in the night
Not a sound from your lips
Somewhere in a cold room
Unfamiliar bed

Somewhere far from you
I felt you slip away
And denied it to myself
Not without a goodbye

I remember the day
That you slipped away
And the pain it caused
No words can tell of it

You lay there before me
Hundreds gathered that day
How I wish you could have seen it
How many cared

One by one we walked by you
One by one we cried
At our loss
One by one we smiled
At your gain

A cold day
You slipped away into the earth
Without a word
To the sound of tears

I now live
Where once we played
I now sleep
Where once we laughed




The years have slipped by
Like your life did
On and on they go
Somehow they are not the same

Your smile still shines bright
Your words echo in my mind
As your laughter does in my heart
My memories of us go on

I know you rest now
Your soul walks
Among the Angels
And your smile radiates

I will come there someday
To your new home
And we will talk again
Of your journey, and you will comfort me

While your pain has gone away
Mine has grown
Selfishness
At the loss of you

What you accomplished in your death
Was the giving of new life
To the wayward souls of so many
When faith falters, they think of you

When my faith is low
I think of you there laughing
Waiting
To see me again

I know there is a heaven
Because your there
You had more then a body that died
You have a soul that lives

In my darkest hours
I see you there
And I rise once again
Knowing everything will come to good


When I lay upon that bed
Feeling this body slip away
My fear will dissipate
I will smile

Someone is there
Waiting for me
Someone I have known
Someone I miss

Goodbye my friend
Until we meet again
