Remember The Moon

an ode to friendship

  

When the light of day

Feels like a distant memory

And the sun feels like a friend

Who disappeared

When times got tough.

 

Just remember…

The dark sky

Is full of a millions stars

Like halos of loved ones remembered

To remind you

There is life after death

And you’re never alone.

 

So never fear the dark

For remember the moon

Is always watching over you

Like the savior

Showing faith in your inner strength.

 

Please remember

That even when the sun seams to set

On life’s bounty

I will be there

Among those halos and savior

Giving more friendship and support

Then the galaxy can hold.

Author's Note

I wrote this for a friend(Joanie) who's family is now dealing with hard situation but it is also an ode to what real friendship should be about, being there no matter what.

I will be hitting some major things in my life to come, so I may have to lean on the ones I care most for support!! it feels so good to know that i have that in you!!! thank you so much, I you know I will always be there too.. thanks again,, I am honored..

Such a beautiful piece. Strong and inspirational. I'm about a year late, but hoping your friend's situation has since greatly improved.

My favorite part ^! I love looking at the night sky and you presented a new way to look at it. :) This brought me comfort. GREAT poem! :)

wow - thank you for sharing this piece. My perception of the moon has shifted and will comfort me because of this writing. The shadows are our friends because it means we are not in total darkness.

You're such a compassionate man, Dale. You have such a beautiful heart and it shows in this beautiful poem to Joanie ... Wonderfully written ... hugs

Nice tribute to your friendship with Joanie. It shows the value of friendship and makes me long for some lost. It has been a strange few years. Lost many friendly acquaintances and gained a few true friends. Great job showing compassion!
