My Friend ~


My heart cried out, when I heard the news
and the tears pooled up in my eyes.
So many words I wanted to say
yet my lips could only sigh.

What do I say to the one I love
when words cannot express
the sadness that overcame me
and filled me with distress.

Not only have you been a friend to me
but a Special Aunt as well
Someone I have always admired
who I've respected and liked so well.

Remember the trip to Portland?
It was filled with marvelous stories
of the countries you had lived in
of good things as well as anomalies

I remember how quickly we got there.
And how I regretted we got there so fast
For your stories had filled me with wonder,
they were definately unsurpassed!

I love the way you tear up
when you hear of something sweet
Or the laughter that escapes you
when hearing something offbeat.

That's what I love about you
your laughter and, your tears
you're not afraid to express yourself
You are truly such a dear.

So, my dearest, dearest Aunt Sharon
you mean the world to me
and words cannot express the love
I have in my heart for thee.
