HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND <br /> <br />He was a good friend <br />And a help to me- <br /> <br />For many years <br />We shared time and work together- <br /> <br />Now his mind is gone <br />In his hospital bed he thinks he is home <br />In a calm voice <br />He speaks total confusion- <br /> <br />It will take time <br />For his body to follow his mind <br /> <br />But there is no real return <br />To what we were- <br /> <br /> <br />I will nonetheless visit again <br /> <br />He is still here, isn't he? <br />Even though he is gone.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-was-a-good-friend/
