Loss Of My Friend Poem by Laurena Pamela Willetts

Today I lost my best friend
The best that could ever be
his love for me was tall and strong
Just like the tallest tree

I felt his strength around me
The branches hugged me close
Now I feel I’ve been ripped bare
I feel so lost and exposed

I will not let my dear friend down
And wallow in self pity
I will again grow tall and strong
Just like that tallest tree

So when it’s time to meet again
He will instantly recognise me
And I will feel those arms again
like those branches on that tree
