A deluge of thoughts blanket me... <br />Once steadied by the shade but no more <br />The rain is now steadily pouring <br />And in the background a Requiem Mass opens sorrows door. <br />So many years ago beloved friend... <br />You joined two very lonely lives <br />Learning of your much too early departure belatedly <br />Tears now overcome mine eyes. <br />Cancer and its ruthless ravaging... <br />Over took your brillant blue eyes <br />My Matron of Honor-you shall always be <br />Even though this heart of mine cries <br />HollyPark will always be the beginning... <br />Where you and your better half led me <br />And i will always hold your memory dearly <br />Even though now, i must grieve. <br />A candle will always burn for you, dear one <br />Because of your blessed friendship, beloved Joyce <br />You've been with God and His Angels now 6 years <br />I do understand our loving Gods choice <br />I tried to find you so many times... <br />In this computer age of lost friends <br />Tell you when i learned about your passing- -it was nearly my end. <br />Oh such a heavy heart i now have <br />A weight boring in the middle of my core <br />Know that it is my Soul reeeling <br />As your Requiem Mass has opened Sorrows Door.<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/joyce-storms/
