A friend of my daughter
has just passed away
only 14 won't see another day
poor little girl
she had a weak heart
early this morning
it just gave out.
I feel full of guilt
as I share this tale
but how else to cope
to hold in the wail
I feel for the parents
of the child who has gone
their pain never forgotten
in them
she'll live on.
For us
and our daughter
we'll just have to try
to not be embarrassed
or ashamed to cry
to remember what it was
that made her a friend
and try not to think
of this day as the end.
