To the Death of a Friend

BY Derek Rempfer

Don’t you go condemn Denial
‘Cause Denial’s been a friend.
Denial lets me sleep at night
On Denial I depend.

Without my friend to lean upon
I’d never laugh or smile.
No other gives me such support
I need my friend Denial.

He cloaks me in that mask I wear
All others to beguile
That face you see that shows no pain
Belongs to sweet Denial.

For when the hurt’s so much I cannot bear
And this world I revile
He takes my hand and comforts me
And I hold on to Denial.

So I thank you friend for being there
As I walk this weary mile
That leads me to my son in Heaven
And your death dear friend Denial.
