Everyone I Hold Dear Poem by Margaret Alice

Today I ran away
to the library
with a headache
read The Cosmos Divine

Wilcock says
suffering results when
we feel we have been
abandoned by God

Friendship leads to
depression and despair
when friends are not there -
then I understood

The cause of the
pain in my head
pills never help for
pain of the heart…

I stayed away
from the Service
held for Xolile
convinced I was ill –

And I am –
sick of heart
feeling despair
because he is gone

I feel betrayed
he should have stayed
being good and kind -
he helped me to find

Reason within
office routine…
couldn’t work today
frozen in despair

Felt only sadness
that my friend is gone
just like Beryl, Betsie
Corinne and Delien

I fear the loss of
everyone
I hold
dear…
