A Friend Held So Near Poem by Chantelle Hession

She is our angle in the heavens above
She keeps us safe with all her love
Her body is not here but her sprit remains
She has her husband to cuddle her tight
Their beautiful daughter will dream of them throughout the night

We will never forget her beautiful smile
Or how she called us brats once in a while
When she walked into a room a glow would appear
If you close your eyes she feels so near

Her life was built around her family and work
She was a mother a lover and a best friend to
She held the family together almost like glue

She will live inside us forever and a day
With the memories and stories we built with her
The images inside our head and the sound of her voice
Will never fade away because even without knowing it we think of her everyday

She is now our angle to keep us safe
She is a brave and powerful woman
With such a beautiful soul
She is now gone but never forgotten
