This poem is for my dearest trusted friend
For when my life finally comes to an end
Over the years we had times good and bad
Your always there in times when I felt sad

In recent times I've been losing all my hope
Let down by my brothers I just cannot cope
It's not your fault you always did your best
Through everyday life we both had our tests

I keep on trying and I think I have more to give
But some days I feel I have lost the will to live
It's painful and I don't wish to make life hell
I just cannot find the words to you I can tell

You had times as well my dearest trusted friend
To stand by you as you felt life had reached it's end
Over the years we had times good and bad
But I was always there in times you felt sad

My dearest mum I can't even look you in the eye
I see Dementia tare you apart, and it makes me cry
I see you slowly moving towards another place
And that will be the day that I cannot face

My dearest sister over the years we had difficult times
Other family betrayed me, drinking alcohol was my crimes
But these last few years you always been around
With your visits to put my feet back on the ground

It's everyday life and who knows what will come next
If we can face any more of this and life’s daily tests?
