My friend Sue has a really wonderful spirit, How I truly wish everyone I know could see. This beautiful woman who is so dear to me. We each have lost a child in different ways, Now with grief we must carry all of our days. Wayne has gone to heaven and is finally free, What happened to others in Wayne's family. Leaving his loved ones with a burden to bear, When someone they loved is no longer there. We try to be there for each other when we can, Until life makes yet another emotional demand. Letters, cute jokes and words of prayer are sent, Handled with affection and respect is our intent. Sue has a terrific husband, whose name is Red, He is not well though and often must stay in bed. A wife, friend and care giver, Sue doesn’t mind, Since this love of theirs you cannot easily define. Smidgen is there and you say, "Well who is he?" Their little dogs purpose, to keep them company. Filling part of their life and helping them to smile, Forgetting their troubles if maybe for a little while. Sue is also gifted like me ... she too writes poetry. Some of hers will take you places you don’t know, Feeling like you are right there if you let yourself go. Start reading her words, you've got nothing to lose, An opportunity to even see yourself if you choose. Are you wondering what brought us two together?, Was it the luck of the draw, the timing or weather?. No, if you don’t yet see it, the message is very clear, Maybe it is even something you don’t want to hear. The one with the master plan for everyone to see. Sue calls him Jah ... He is called God by me. © Brenda Sparkman January 2004 Midi Playing: "Unforgettable"
