Karen, my friend, my angel

by shelby mitchell
(wi, usa)

you died
i cried
i miss you
we met in the hospital
you were dying
i wanted to die
you lifted me up
as you were floating down
i hope you didn't drown
in all that pain
i know your illness was hard
and i'm sorry i wasn't there much
nothing i can do now
except
tell you
i love and miss you
i don't believe in better places
or god
but just for you
i do.
my pen pal
my friend
my hero
my angel
spread your wings
and fly high
up to god
in the bright sky.
i wish you well my friend
i know your suffering has come to an end
