Images of days gone by
flash within my head
Images of days to come
bring me to my bed
I know that you are dying
that someday you will be no more
I know that you need me
more than ever before
So I sit with you for hours
making you laugh and recall
the days when days weren't numbered
the years before last fall
You will leave me here, my friend
with memories I cherish so
Terrified of losing you
the closer still we grow
I will hold your hand through this
as hard as it maybe
But I know when they say you are gone
You will still be here with me
Author notes
One of my oldest,dearest and most cherished friends,is suffering from brain cancer...I can't help but be terrified at the thought of losing him. Prayers please.

Beautiful and emotional
I truly feel for you sweet lady,and can only wish for a miracle that you may spend many more happy days with your friend.
But if not, if they are called, to a better place.
Your memories of their friendship will be everlasting.
because they will have touched your life,as you touched theirs.
Simply by showing that you care.
And how many I ask, have a heart like yours to care for them?
