Death is something that comes to all
we never know when we will get the call
At times its so sudden quick and fast
we find ourselves mourning for the one that passed

I truly believe deep within my heart
when we are born our day is picked to part
no one is ever ready when it comes
our life's journey is not yet done

We feel such pain and sadness too
at times we just don't know what to do
we offer a kind word and a helping hand
to all effected  across the land

We must always remember the times of joy
and not let our sadness creep in and destroy
the happy memories we hold inside
reach for them and open your heart wide

For with our pain we somehow get by
with all our tears that we cry
it helps us through on this sad day
the day that you passed away

You are now a special Angel living up high
and even though we question why
we know you are safe where you are
we see you when we look up to the stars

Farwell my dear friend for I know you must go
fly high above all of us left below
you shall never be forgotten by those left behind
we shall remember you always, till the end of time

This poem is written in memory of Linda she is someone that I have never met, but she was a very dear friend of a very special friend of mine... I hope in some small way this helps ease your pain... my thoughts, prayers and love to you and Linda's family
