Dear Sinead (Mar-27-2007)

I wasn’t ready for what I heard on the day you died,
I sat in my chair, my heart had stopped, and like a child I cried.

I couldn’t begin to understand what I had just heard,
What had changed inside you, what had just occurred?

I had known you since 5th class, you were one amazing friend,
Never had it crossed my mind how soon that all could end.

For countless nights I lay in bed trying to understand,
Had I known and offered you help, would you have taken my hand?

Its been three years, how time flies but you’ve never left my mind,
You were a fantastic person, a wonderful friend, so caring and so kind.

I pray for you all the time and wonder if you hear me,
I hope that you are happy now and from your struggles free.

I still miss you so much, but know that you are in a better place,
And today I smile when in photos I see your pretty face.

You will never be forgotten dear friend, in my heart you’ll stay,
I will think of you especially on that faithful day in May.
