To a friend

to a friend who was an inspiration to everybody and will be forever missed. . .


A leader with a soul
Responsible for her every choice
You know everything is under control
When you hear her voice

Every request you follow
Everybody is on her side
Anywhere we go
You are our guide

The silence of the setting sun
Knowing that it will shine another day
Your shoulders are to be leaned upon
You comfort us with everything you say

There will always be you
A friend to someone like me
Though life has been through for you
You're with us forever and eternally

When I'm full of grief
Flooding with tears
You bring the perfect relief
And forgetting my fears

You showed me gladness
And embraced me so tight
To forget all my sadness
And to keep on the fight

Flat on my face when I fall
The right words you always define
You say to me and to us all
Your problems are not only yours but also mine

I know that you are always awake
And you keep us in your sight
Even before the dawn breaks
And even before we sleep at night

In our hearts, where you are in
In our minds where we know
That wherever now you might have been
We still love you after you go
