In memory of Melissa (Mimmi) Best friend and Sisters at Heart…
For the moments we shared
In laughter and tears.
For the phone calls
That kept us updated
And the prayers that
Kept our friendship
Real.
For the moments we shared
In joy and sorrow
You always had a way
Of knowing what to say
When my pain was deep
Even in your own pain
You learned to reach out to me.
For the lessons you taught
On what it was to truly be brave
You wore your pain bravely
And you taught me to do the same.
I learned to live by what you said
“Feeling sorry isn’t going to change anything
So why spend that energy when you could
Be living life.”
For the moments we shared
That were true and real
I carry the memories with me
And in doing so
A piece of you lives
On in my heart.
