The Poem<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little ironic that Sue wrote this poem about a dear friend that died and now the same poem applies so perfectly to her.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Picture<\/strong><\/p>\n

To me, November is a dark month. It\u2019s the month of Remembrance Day, my mother\u2019s passing, Sue\u2019s passing, as well as several others. This portrait of my father is painted from a photo taken on the day of my mother\u2019s funeral\u2026in November.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lucky Me Unlucky You<\/strong><\/p>\n

Should I say that I loved you and nobody\u2019s above you<\/p>\n

or say that it wasn\u2019t that way<\/p>\n

All the times we drove home and we laughed and we cried<\/p>\n

Now my dear friend has died<\/p>\n

And I still can\u2019t believe that you\u2019re gone<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No one that had known you could say that without you<\/p>\n

the world would be better that way<\/p>\n

I still can\u2019t believe that you\u2019re gone<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You were so damn good thought you\u2019d be the son<\/p>\n

To get that first knock out round one<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s all undone<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Should that be the last time I ever would see your face<\/p>\n

How did you ever leave such a space<\/p>\n

Never thought that would be the last time<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Life\u2019s so strange and people do change<\/p>\n

and you\u2019re never sure what you\u2019ll get<\/p>\n

Life\u2019s rearranged now that you took that train<\/p>\n

but I thank my stars that we met<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You still said I was the best kept secret of anyone you knew<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t sure<\/p>\n

but I thought that the only one who could see me was you<\/p>\n

And that came true<\/p>\n

We\u2019re just calls that never got through<\/p>\n
