My Dear Friend

My dear friend.

5 years and the memories still remain.

Brownies are in the oven.

Candles burning bright.

A significant mark, always holding place.

I can still hear your laughter.

And it wraps me like a blanket.

Your song echos and takes me into mystery.

To ride the waves again with you.

I celebrate you.

And I miss you.

Brownies in the oven and candles burning bright

In that small kitchen was such a delight,.

You would be blown away now

With what has become

Your eyes wide and love doubling in your heart

Celebrating brimming with every words from your heart

You changed the world.

The world of the mind

We entered in and you took us on a ride

To wondrous lands of miracles and grace

Elegance and humor. Light from your face.

How i wanted to decorate the hallway with pictures and words.

To see you walk out

TO hear your laugh

Fill the whole house, and everyone knows Ella is back!

To sit on the couch. Watch a movie one more time.

To eat popcorn and cry. Bag leaves and day goodbye and hello.

I want you to see my house and come visit.

I never got to see your homeland when you were in it.

I waited to long and then the times passed.

Nobody saw this coming. Your time went so fast.

Our friendship was special and talking about dating

The dreams of having kids nad the honor of waiting

You would be so proud. Your legacy lives on.

But I want to have you on my back deck.

To hear your new songs.

It was far too short your time here with us.

And now 5 years later and we still haven’t closed this season.

I want to celebrate you and all the love you continue to bring.

You name on our hearts and in our minds.

You are a special woman.

The home of your heart,

Remaining in those who ventured in

Home carried in your heart.

Laughter that would swell in a room.

I miss riding the wave with you.

Entering the land of mystery.

From your own life and enchanting stories.

My dear friend.

I remember your presence well.

The peace that you held.

I miss your laughter that would swell.

So many songs that you would sing.

Watching all the movies.

Striking up a conversation about anything.

Hearts embraced by your laughter in the air.

Giving all in every part.

Until we sit in a room again.

Share all the stories that will never end.

I will cherish all the memories

I have with you.

My dear friend.

My dear friend.

I remember your presence well.

The peace that you held.

I miss your laughter that would swell.

So many songs that you would sing.

Watching all the movies.

Striking up a conversation about anything.

Loving so deeply.

Giving all in every part.

Until we sit in a room again.

Share all the stories that will never end.

I will cherish all the memories

I have with you.

My dear friend.
