At this time when you have serious bridges to cross
boxes to tick and thing to dot, you come to disbelief
of what has happened, you are now mourning a loss
and all sorts of emotions have entangled with the grief.
You sit and watch the poppies being crushed to a pulp
because you feel angry; the rouge fades to grey
tears are trapped at the back of your throat and you gulp
you don't know what to think and you cannot say.
These thoughts drift in and out of your mind
disrupting  altering, dreams and now cause rage
we carry on, Lord knows how but we do you will find
that things will settle in your mind at a later stage.
Your friend is looking down as a butterfly now
she will always be by your side for a million years
she will drape her wing on your wing
she will iron troubles and get rid of the fears.
She will whisper sweet things to you Elaine
a friend is for life do not forget, this leads the way
but more important to you my friend she will
be walking down the aisle with you on your wedding day.
