The News Of A Friend
None of us can see
into the heart of the other but sometimes when I write my poetry and read it
afterwards, I feel exposed. I feel like people can see into my heart. When I
learnt of the passing of my friends’ dad today, I was without words. I had
spent the last few days recovering from a real low in my health and had been
avoiding emotionally stressful contact. My friend could not have known this
since it was a while since we last spoke. But some news you can’t avoid. May the
Lord be with my favorite family.

The News
Of A Friend This evening
at 6:36 I heard from a friend Her dad was
ailing and had met his final end Emotionally
she told me through obvious tears No words
could express my sorrow, nothing compares Every memory
of him came flooding back to me When we
discussed what promises my future will be So often we
shared similar ideas Of family,
friends and our spiritual ways For some
time we spoke of life’s difficulties And he
pontificated his processes with little ease Faith in God
he said transcends everything Remember to
put God first and you’ll do anything I loved my
friends’ dad in a very special way Expressed
these feelings freely and kept him in pray Now he is
gone I pray for him, God’s promised eternity Deepest
sympathies I extend to my favorite family To
The Elms Family On
the passing of Mr. Elms May
God be with you |
