A Letter of thanks

by Danielle Mc Henry - Aquarius

I heard a friend of mine had died…
Someone I knew, someone I had pushed aside…
Gone forever from this world, gone beyond the stars…
His journey cut short, no longer around…

Now I wish, the time to make amends…
To say all the things I did not say and do…
Forgive me my dear friend, I have lost you…
I was wrapped in myself and my life, missed the cue…

I write to you from my heart…
I want to tell you wherever you are…
You were a friend, the truest one can have…
Always there with me through my light and dark…

Maybe if I had been less than a stranger…
More present when you were alive….
I would have had been able to utter that I do care…
Unsaid many a times, but never, never forgotten…

I thank you from deep within my soul….
How I wish you alive a moment, just once more…
Thank you for touching my life and having been there…
I look up in the sky and I know you are amidst the heavens…
Thank you my dear friend.

Reason for writing:

    To all those who have passed on.  We miss you.
