POET'S CORNER TRIBUTE TO A FRIEND A very special person Once lived next door to me Little did I realize How close we'd get to be My sad days, my lonely days My troubles, all were shared She took the time to listen Because she really cared I drew upon her wisdom Her strength and gentleness On numerous occasions When under strain and stress And when I moved a distance Her cards gave me a lift Especially the one that said "A friend is God's own gift" The many things she taught me By word and also deed I hope I can reciprocate To those who are in need I truly miss that lady She left a special place Implanted deep within my heart That nothing can erase And many more will miss her They speak of her with praise For she has left a memory To each, in different ways God, if you're listening to me This message I would send Please tell a special person I'm so glad she was my friend Florence B.
