Later, My Friend

Tonight we had dinner with a sweet dear friend.

Yet tonight this parting has brought a precious era to an end.

She parts for Michigan and I wonder if I shall ever see her again?

This is dedicated to Allene, she will forever be in my heart, to me a dear friend .

She was there for me when my Leah died;

We held each other while my heart and soul cried.

Death in those days came close to my weeping hearts sleeping door.

Yet I felt her warmth; her comfort that touched my hearts very core.

Will I miss her: Yes that is true ,

for her love for me was and is pure and true .

How pray tell will I make these coming days:

The absence of a true friend that loved me.

I wish her well on her journey into a future yet unseen,

I pray for her safety.

For only God knows what she has meant to me…

This is for you Allene, my dearest friend, may this parting day not be the end.
