An Ode for a Friend: A Poem

 I cried again for you today.

But, here and now-- this hour,

I write for you a happy tune

So it may be like flowers.


To bring 'round joy and happiness--

Perhaps to bring a smile.

So, I may feel as I once did

With you for just a while.


They say that grief is simply love

With no one here to claim it.

But, if I could, I know I would

-- The time, the place -- you name it.


Silly me. I know you can't.

I hope you're somewhere nice.

For all the things I can imagine

--Nothing after life.


I hope there is-- oh God do I!

But, just so I am clear,

There's not a single life or death

That I'd not find you, Dear.


If you're somewhere waiting for us,

Please, save me a spot.

Until then, I'll sing my grief.

My Friend, you're not forgot.
