A poem to honor my friend

So Many Times I Think of You

 

The scent of Orient inspired perfume lingers in a mall

A reggae tune that reminds me of dancing in the Village

Potato and egg breakfast tacos which you taught to me make

So many times, I think of you.

A recommendation on my LinkedIn site

Your CV still on my hard drive

Memories of our last email exchange on being your own boss

So many times, I think of you

My thoughts of you, once heart-warming, send a chill through my soul

You left us – your life taken by your own hand

I’m sure you had your reasons, though I find them hard to fathom

Your departure has etched itself into my heart in ways I can’t describe

I read the poem I wrote for you all those many years ago

And I cry.

I only wish you could know the so many times I think of you.

What a nice poem.  You were a good friend to her and a true friend is always an enrichment to life. (Proverbs 18:24) "There exist companions disposed to break one another to pieces, but there exists a friend sticking closer than a brother." Obviously you were the friend sticking close to her.  Maybe I can be a friend to you like described at Proverbs 17:17, where it says, "A true companion is loving all the time, and is a brother that is born for when there is distress."  I believe that we can support one another but our true help comes from God.  What do you think?
