In Time As Fading Thoughts Move On... Poem by O.S. Brooks

I closed my eyes and cried as if the world is not enough
Then asked the stars that shine at night to heal us from above
Yet, in these dreams, we get to see if time can heal all wounds
For now, a friend is gone-my heart is missing pieces too

We reached toward dreams
Then, hoped to see your smile had met us there
Yet, times are hard so we’ll held on to memories we shared

I wrote down all the times we talked and chased this crazy dream
You spoke of better days ahead
Then worked to make them be

In time as fading thoughts move on
And life takes breath from us
We’ll still hold on since love is strong
And you taught us to love.

If laughing heals the mortal soul
Then, we were blessed to be
A friend with whom angels too
Would call a friend indeed

I closed my eyes and tried to find my strength from deep within
Then asked the stars that shine above to carry back my friend
Yet, in these dreams, we get to see if time can heal all wounds
For now, a friend is gone-my heart is missing pieces too
For now, my friend is gone-My heart
Is missing pieces too…
