Wherever You Are by Jeffrey ParrenWherever you are
I hope there's no diabetes
so fainting spells
and aching legs and feet
are a thing of the past.
Wherever you are
I hope there's no kidney failure
because dialysis
took away all your energy
and lead to the infection
that took over your heart.
Wherever you are
I hope there's no seashells
to break your fragile feet
on that beach you may go
whenever your heart desires.
Wherever you are
I hope there's food
all the food you desired
but couldn't eat
all those years of sickness.
Wherever you are
I hope you've found it
whatever it is.
Wherever you are
I know you are smiling
and I just want you to know
that rarely a day passes
without you somewhere
on my mind. 03/22/2010 Posted on 03/22/2010 Copyright © 2024 Jeffrey Parren

Posted by George Hoerner on 03/22/10 at 01:02 PM This is a very nice write to someone you obviously knew and cared for greatly. Many of us have a ‘somewhere’ we’d like to be and others aren’t sure yet where that really is. |
