The Best of Us
I've written this poem for a friend who passed away this weekend...
RIP Gretchen. You will be missed. Condolences and prayers to your loved ones. Blessings, love and light.
The best of us

Now that you're gone
It feels like a light has gone out
In our world; in our Universe
Stopping time; stopping hearts
You were the best part of us
You were my best friend
Beloved and remembered
With fondness and mourning
Your suffering did not go unnoticed
By God and His Angels
They've taken you into Heaven
To be in God's warm embrace
Our family has lost your sparkle
But Heaven shines a little brighter
We have faith that we'll meet once more
When it's time for our souls to take flight
Now that you're gone
The colours feel less bright
The moon looks so much sadder now
She mourns the stars at night
You remain the best of us
A star lighting up the heavens
We will hold your memory close
And let our love remain neverending
