Go now, my child, the time has come.
All tasks today are done.
There are others waiting for you,
And songs yet to be sung.
Go quietly, go softly,
Leave all pain and fear behind.
Today has left a part of you In our hearts,
our souls, and minds.
I'll remember that you made me smile,
Although, it makes me weep.
As you go to face your future,
As you go to touch the sky Know that God makes all things possible, Angels never die.
Go now, my child, the time has come.
All worldly tasks are done.
There are others waiting there for you,
And songs yet to be sung.

I know you lived your lifetime
As short as that seems to me,
But the pain in my heart is still so great,
Yet I know your spirit is free.
At times I think I hear you, The thoughts come to my mind.
I struggle for the sound of your voice,
But your voice I cannot find.
Yet you come to me in many ways
So I know you did not die
You want to tell me that you're so close,
And to please stop asking "Why?".
Our lives on earth seem all too brief,
Or brief as it seems to me.
But where you are is forever,
God calls that eternity.
I feel I've lost a thousand years,
Just living day by day.
I'm hidden behind the pain and tears,
My sorrow guides the way.
I cannot see where I have gone,
Nor where my life shall go.
But leaving you my bestest friend,
Is the only way I know.
It will be painful, I will be weak,
But true friendship never dies.
So call upon the Greatest Power,
When you feel you can't survive.
He will heal you in your saddest hours,
And keep our memories alive.
For in the eternal love of God,
True friendship never dies.

The best of friends,
Can change a frown,
Into a smile,
When you feel down.
The best of friends,
Will understand,
Your little trials, And lend a hand.
The best of friends,
Will always share,
Your secret dreams,
Because they care.
The best of friends,
Worth more than gold,
Give all the love,
A heart can hold.

All poems by me dedicated to Heather Dulaney. I know i haven't again updated in a while, it's just that I've had a lot on my mind recently. I guess these poems pretty much tell it all, I just wish that I could've had at least one more moment with her, to tell her what she really meant to me. I know that whenever you lose someone, you stop and realize, wow, why didnt i ever tell them what they mean to me, and I guess it's true, you should tell them. You never know who is going to be here the next minute. No one would've imagined Heather leaving us so abrubtly, I know for SURE i didn't. I mean, she was the best friend i truely ever had, and of course I didn't want her to be taken away from me. And as hard as it is for me to let her go, it must be done. If there's anything I learned from her, it's just to live in the moment. Also stop to smell the roses, make the most out of life. You never know if you will be here the next minute, who knows in 5 minutes i might suddenly have a heartattack, and i wouldn't have accomplished anything. I only hope that you, the reader, will realize (or has already realized) the same thing. Don't dwell on the past like I have for countless years, it doesn't do you any good; you won't realize it until something terrible happens, just as it did to me. And i wonder why did i have to learn this lesson like this? It bothers me so much, but in the end, Heather brought out the best of me, as I assume she did others. I miss her so much, I love her so much, i would give anything to be with her again. But until my time has come, I must sit back and live my life as she would hers.
