I did not speak for you today. Could not. would not. I held your loved ones tight. Let my tears mingle. Crystalline drops of anguish. Ripped from my soul. My hands held others. Soft and small, Large and rough. I murmured low words Soothing and strong. I did not speak for you today. How much your friendship meant. How your sense of humor makes me laugh. That your gait was like a bears. Could not Count the number of times your warmth and kindness Was a balm on injured flesh. Would not Tell the assembly that you made everyone in your sphere Feel like family. No. I did not speak for you today. For you already know.
For my dear friend G.W.K. May 18, 1949- January 11, 2013.
Could not.
would not.
I held your loved ones tight.
Let my tears mingle.
Crystalline drops of anguish.
Ripped from my soul.
My hands held others.
Soft and small,
Large and rough.
I murmured low words
Soothing and strong.
I did not speak for you today.
How much your friendship meant.
How your sense of humor makes me laugh.
That your gait was like a bears.
Could not
Count the number of times your warmth and kindness
Was a balm on injured flesh.
Would not
Tell the assembly that you made everyone in your sphere
Feel like family.
No.
I did not speak for you today.
For you already know.
For my dear friend G.W.K.
