As I look back on this calendar year, there have been so many days of sadness. Sometimes it feels that I have shed an ocean of tears this year, and yet I still have tears spare. Today they are for a friend.
It is inevitable that one day we will all die. Some of us choose the timing. I found out early this morning, that my friend chose his timing to pass from this earth and this life.
Today, I dedicate this post to him with these words:
Ode to a Friend
May the wildflowers grow beneath your feet
To soften the path you now tread;
May the moonbeams guide you
On your chosen journey;
May the light of the stars
Hold you in their embrace.
For those that loved you here on earth
Will continue to hear your whispers in the breeze.
For your friendship, I thank you
For your wise words imparted, I thank you
For your encouragement when my days were dark, I thank you
For your kindness and generosity, I shall remember you.
In final farewell, I will raise my glass
And drink in quiet remembrance to honour you.
