For Ray (My Very Special Friend) Poem by PIERCING HALO

January 3rd. was the day you died.
How I wish I could have cried!

My heart was broken that day it's true.
And yet there were no tears for you.

How do your cry when it's finally done.
When the dreaded Cancer has finally won.

I can cry for me, but not for you.
For my heart knows to well what you've been through.

I could cry because I wasn't there
I could cry because life isn't fair!

I could cry because on that dreadful day.
I wasn't there, but where I had to stay.

And I know even though some think I lie.
That you came to me there and you said good-bye.

I felt your presence all around me.
I felt your spirit completely surround me.

The room was filled with the warmth of you.
And that's how I knew you made it through.

The peace that they speak of filled the air.
And your love filled that room everywhere.

That's when I knew that you had gone.
But, the memory of you still lingers on.

Now it's over, no more pain they say.
So I can only hope and pray
That I'll see you again someday

My very special friend! ! !
