Sweet 18, is on her way <br />As she climbs the stars to reach the sky <br />Sweet 18, oh, can’t you stay <br />For a little longer before you die <br /> <br />The good times we shared together <br />I shall never forget my dearest friend <br />As you wear your white dress of feather <br />You’ll soon fly and your soul will transcend <br /> <br />To the other side, across the valley of death <br />You shall wait for us, till our time is due <br />Till the very last breath, till our last mortal day <br />We shall always be remembering you <br /> <br />I will go back in time <br />Back where you will always be <br />In my memories, I shall live this crime <br />Of one strayed sister, that I will no more see <br /> <br />The candle that holds your spirit <br />Has now reached its end <br />As for mine, I shall never know <br />Where and when, we shall ever meet… <br />My friend…<br /><br />Elie Abou Chaaya<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-the-loving-memory-of-a-friend/
