Remember The Moon

an ode to friendship

  

When the light of day

Feels like a distant memory

And the sun feels like a friend

Who disappeared

When times got tough.

 

Just remember…

The dark sky

Is full of a millions stars

Like halos of loved ones remembered

To remind you

There is life after death

And you’re never alone.

 

So never fear the dark

For remember the moon

Is always watching over you

Like the savior

Showing faith in your inner strength.

 

Please remember

That even when the sun seams to set

On life’s bounty

I will be there

Among those halos and savior

Giving more friendship and support

Then the galaxy can hold.

Author's Note

I wrote this for a friend(Joanie) who's family is now dealing with hard situation but it is also an ode to what real friendship should be about, being there no matter what.

I will be hitting some major things in my life to come, so I may have to lean on the ones I care most for support!! it feels so good to know that i have that in you!!! thank you so much, I you know I will always be there too.. thanks again,, I am honored..

Really amazing poem about friendship and life and faith. The last stanza is a fantastic portrayal of how eternal friendship can be. Love all of the moon and stars imagery.

Especially beautiful, and a loving tribute to a most special friend! She is surely going to need these words of comfort in coming days, and you have really come through for her!
That is the worth of a true friend!!
Hugs for caring for others so very much!!
