Salute to a Friend

SALUTE TO A FRIEND

 

There is a friend that I recently met

While spending time on the internet.

This gentle lady though racked with pain,

Shared with us posts, through which we gained

A sense of quiet toughness and love

That touched our hearts like a dove.

 

Filled with wisdom beyond her years,

Caring for others despite her tears-

To her husband she’s a lover,

To her daughter a mother,

To us a fiend like no other.

 

In spite of her pain

And her medicated state,

She has touched our hearts,

And stimulated our minds

With simple truths about life.

 

For you dear friend,

We can send but our love,

And to God send our prayers

For the lady with a good heart,

For her toughness and courage.

 

Dear friend this will never be good bye,

For with your permission and by your leave,

We would like to continue to look in on your life,

To send you messages of caring

And snap shots of our life
