For Jen
by Adrian CalhounFor a brief time her presence graced us,
never wanting the spotlight or attention,
she put others before herself.
Even though her world was dark,
she always managed to make my day brighter.
An ear that could be trusted with anything,
a shoulder when support was needed,
no matter what, she was always there.
Always there...
No longer here.
That concept not fully sunk in as yet.
Still dealing with emotions,
fighting the tears that come all too easy.
I cannot quite imagine the world without her,
and I am sure it will never be the same again.
There are no words to express how I truly feel
at this very moment in time.
I know life goes on, and she would want it that way,
but I also know that my world has lost a shining star,
a dear friend that I can no longer make smile when she's blue.
What do you do when Ravyns fly away,
heading for higher places to soar.
When shattered angels finally get their perfect wings,
it leaves a void that can never be filled in ones soul.
In my heart forever she shall remain,
and in other places, another day,
we shall see each other again. 05/24/2004 Author's Note: forever in my heart

It's a lovely tribute for Jenn. She will be missed very much. I just found out about what happen to her. I didn't know her as well as others. We chatted often, but she never mention about having cancer. I still can't believe it. At least we know she's not in anymore pain. Just hoping her daughter has someone to take good care of her little girl. So sad, so sad. it won't be the same without her. :( |
| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 05/25/04 at 02:35 AM wonderful to see you carrying on with the pen, for her, here, and for all of us. I believe Jen and I were on poesie together as well as here, though I never got to know her much, so sad to lose her presence with us and learn of it in one so young, and for her family especially the daughter. Blessings. |
