CELIA'S POEMS

No 305      January 14

Today I’m feeling rather sad,

My best friend died yesterday,

No-one could be with her,

No last goodbyes to say.

We’ve been friends for over sixty years,

She was always there for me,

I feel very let down,

I couldn’t visit her to see.

She suffered with Alzheimer’s,

The sadness that does bring,

Some days she could remember,

Other times she knew nothing.

She didn’t die from Covid,

She had a heart attack,

I’m glad she is at peace now,

She didn’t want to come back.

She lost her husband a few years ago,

Her loneliness we couldn’t fix,

She didn’t want to be here,

And her mind started playing tricks.

I’d sometimes ring her on the phone,

And that upset me because,

We’d have a conversation,

And she didn’t know who I was.

She never had much illness,

And she lived to 91,

Farewell my friend I’ll miss you,

I’m so sad that you have gone.

RIP  Eunice
