Dear Friend Poem by Jacqui Broad

Dear friend,
how are you today?
You are so far away,
but I have you,
in my thoughts,
so, now,
how are you?
I've made some
coffee, but,
I would like you here
beside me, so friend, I,
wouldn't have to miss you.
We used to talk of life,
and we used to laugh,
untill the tears,
rolled out our eyes,
it was such good company...
Dear friend,
read my telepathy,
I desperately,
need your sympathy.
I don't want to
feel alone,
please, come talk to me.
I'll supply the
warm sweet tea,
and you can
light your smoke.
If you'll just bear my
melancholity,
and assure me, my
sanity.
We must not forget,
sweet memories,
for sobriety,
creeps upon everyone.
And, friend,
that's when I want to
remember you...
For Alvin...
