My Friends Poem by Jacquie StewartHeimann

Attachments made
As years go by
First friends, then family
Laughter shared
Memories built
Lives become entwined
Then...
The news is out
My blood runs cold
My hearts been torn asunder
Our group, our family
Separated, severed
Apart...
In my heart
My mind, my soul
Emptiness, sadness
Despair...
Need to keep
To hold on tight
To the memories
Of friends
Whose advice
Patience
Support and Love
Has been etched
Deep in my heart
To never be forgotten
