Eric

I know I wrote this for my friend Eric, who died at the age of eight, in England, from leukemia. He was a friend I played with every day before he moved away so I could not have been all that old myself. I just found it and realized I had written it...gosh...even back then my journaling sustained me.

Eric

 

Raindrops falling on my window pane

Pitter patter

Slowly driving me insane

Each drop ticks by every moment

that passes on, dragging

and every moment seems so quiet

I think that I am gone

no sense in going on

and all that's left for me

is bittersweet memory

of days gone by

memories of you and I

 

Love,

your friend Kathy

Kathy,
You continue to touch my heart with your writings. I also lost a dear friend so I understand your pain. Excellent Kathy, thank you.

A fitting tribute to a friend. Friends now departed. Life's memories suspended in time and space. Irretrievable, though we may review them and hold on to their essence forever. Jon Michael Willey

(((HUGS))) love and prayers - this one is powerfully moving - profound - very well penned. No child should ever suffer - I'm sorry for your loss.

Such tragic lines from a young Kathy . . . Such profound one at that . . . Saddness through all the years . . .

Reviewed on February 28, 2008
It's always a tragic thing when a child has to suffer and die; it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I'm sorry for your loss; even now it hurts because you didn't get to see him grow up into a man. Powerful offering, Kathy; brava!

((((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <
