I cried for you today

I cried today for you my friend,
soft tears of sorrow for your pain…
I cried for all your anguish and loss,
and for your cherished thoughts.

I cried today for you my friend,
I was there in spirit to hold you close
as I felt all the tears you held inside
as you did what had to be done.

I cried for you today my friend,
for all the things that could have been
and yet, were not
for a lifetime of love, sometimes bittersweet
ahh..the memories.

I cried today for you my friend,
out of love and concern
for your well-being. And the hopes
that somehow you felt my presence
and know that you are loved.

I wrote this for a friend who was dealing with a death in the family, but I released it again today for those who also have a need to hear words from those who care.
