My dearest friend...

With heavy shoulders, you still wanted my heart, even after what happened from the start
It was 22:00 rain pouring, on the bridge, ready, I could hear your voice but still I wanted to fall
Stop, you have a reason to live, you have my life in your arms and forever you need to shelter me
These words you spoke surrounded me, picked me up, made me feel what you see and breathe
From the depths of despair, you chose me to walk with you during times of trouble
I didn't need any time to think it over, it was you inside me that etched and woven
You gave me life, a reason to live, we even created fruits from our love
We struggled through, but yet we lived with hope, like real lover's should
You opened doors not just for me, but the people you left a footprint on
We carried each other, danced within souls, as our love was so strong
As the days and nights went by, as the many tears you cried
Throughout all of your torment I was so proud of you, me being by your side
So as we gather here today remembering that our loved one, has finally flew
Just remember each and every one of us who she touched, in some way grew
She was a sister, wife, best friend, but most of all she was a loving mother
As we say goodbye, smile like her, love like her, as she lived like no other
If from time to time you ever look down, just know you're the best, God has found
We believe that you are up there for a reason, that's what we'll keep dreaming
You're my feathered angel, you came flying in when I was about to drown
At the moment we are lost and broken, but the love you gave, we have got to keep going...
For cancer to end,
Please keep believing
Goodbye my love
My dearest friend...xxx

Hi Wayne, there are few lives that have not been touched by Cancer and the far reaching effects that it has on family and friends is incalculable. This is a beautifully written tribute to someone who has left an indelible mark on your life and heart- someone clearly loved and respected by all who knew her. You did well here Wayne! you did her proud! Thank you so much for sharing such a personal emotion. Much love to you my friend xx

Thank you so much Lodigiana, I have been so fortunate in my life that I haven't lost any family through cancer yet, but I've witnessed it in friends and people I work with, as how catastrophic it can affect people,
this was a strange one for me to write, as I know it carries a lot of emotion, thanks for your supportive words ?
