I Lost My Best Friend to Cancer

My dear friend, will you ever understand

All the love I had for you

You always gave so much compassion

To everyone you knew.

Your heart was full of kindness

Your soul was filled with peace

Your faith could not be shaken

Your light will never cease.

Your joy flowed like a fountain

So refreshing everyday

So clean, so pure, so simple

Like the rain that falls in May

Your smile was like the sunshine

As fresh as any flower

You had a heart as big as Texas

And yeah.. strong as any tower.

You praised GOD for each and every hour

For each and every day

You lived your life to its fullness

And always took the time to pray.

There were so many acts of kindness

You spread throughout the years

A hug was always waiting

For everyone you held dear.

You had such a love for basketball

And of course your MaryKay business too

Unending love for your family

And those special friendships too

A husband, son, daughter and identical twin

Really.. That's just naming a few

So many other people

Now miss you like I do.

Now I don't get your emails

On my screen each day

Through all those years of writing

Yeah... we always found a way.

You traveled through the valleys

Your eyes fixed on the sky

Like Job found in the Bible

You never questioned why.

GOD took you to His mansion

WOW... what rejoicing there must be

When HE took away your cancer

HE set your spirit free!

  

I Love & Miss you T!
