To my friend who's lost a loved one

by Eva Cisecki

My heart goes out to your family and you
The void in your heart is going to be hard to get use to
But I'm here for you hopefully to help you through the pain
I know that it's going to be hard and your life is not going to be the same
It's going to take a long time for the emptiness to fade away
So for you to have strength in your heart and soul is something that I pray
No one really knows why it has to terribly be this way
For a loved one to be quickly and wrongfully taken away
At least we know that your being watched from way up above
By a loving person who's still sending down their unconditional love
So to my friend who has lost a loved one so special and dear to the heart
Just remember that their still in your heart and you will never really be apart
Treasure the great memories the fun and the laughs that were shared
And a smile should come across your face knowing that they cared

Love your friend always,
Eva Cisecki
