God gives us Angels

This was written July 16 2010 dedicating this to my Friend Rania July 24 2014 Thursday is the Anniversary of her death it's been 5yrs. since she passed.

best friends are the ones

who will love

you no matter how

retarded or weird you act.

They are warm hugs

blankets  of laughter.

Always there when you

need them.

God gives the most

amazing angels that we

call friends for life.

They leave footprints

in our hearts.

I'm sorry for the lost of your friend. We will have few true friends. The poem brought her back to life. It was a beautiful description of a good woman. Thank you my friend for sharing the poem.

hard to find friends that you know for life. I started getting better the 26 and 27th of July Well Rania and Sonya came into my life when I was being made fun of and had no friends and my Lebanese family adopted us and still are our family I meet her through Sonya and we couldn't be Separated not even in Distance they came to visit when I lived in Alabama for years during the summer was great fun one my other friends Jenny was litter then me and she would stick up for me when I was picked on I had a low Self-esteem and not many friends she would chase them off an bet them up and still get in trouble I wish I was Braver to tell the teacher or my mother what happened I cried myself to sleep every night didn't want my mother stressing over it and she is scary when she gets mad LOL when her children are messed with Dumb Teacher Didn't see these cruel Little children Throwing Wood chips at me Literally but thankfully they didn't hurt me I Just wanted to left alone I was sweet Quiet and a shy child and wasn't a mean child when high school hit it stopped I turned into my mother a the stronger woman I my family still loving but I took no Crap from no one didn't like being Pushed into a corner I am a fighter but can be loving and caring Just won't be any ones Door mate any more.

This is amazing and very sad. I love the title and the title of the song, I shall listen to it soon.
I'm sorry about your crew. So very, very sorry.
It's hard losing friends, especially to death.
But, you know what? I think she smiles every time the sun shines, and even when it's not. I believe she's standing right next to God, looking down on you and looking out for you through each rainbow and darkened cloud.
Tears are the blood of our hearts, when we cry, it's our wounded heart bleeding.
Wounds leave scars, terrible scars, but they do heal.
Keep trucking on.
God bless ^^

I am so sorry about your friend, I too lost a very good friend at a young age to depression. But before she died she described a little girl watching out for her, perhaps a guardian angel. This was a wonderful tribute, thank you for sharing it.

[Ashira Macy]

Wow, that is very powerful, I am sure she looked beautiful, even in eternal rest.

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

I do hope so but I do feel she would of been she was beautiful :) happened so fast I wasn't able to go to her funeral I don't think I would of been able to handle it they live in Cedar Rapids Iowa my home town so wouldn't of been able to make a trip fast enough. But yes I agree :)

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

I forget what it was but it was something in her family passed onto her and Skipped her brother nothing we could do she got sicker and sicker and became more bitter because of her knowing she was going to died Her parents Buried her in a White wedding dress due to us being the Brides of Christ not like our Spouses on earth something much more different. Thank you for your kind review and comments. I really appreciate it.
