For my friend, Kristen

Saying I’ll miss you

Just isn’t enough

But talking about this…

Well, that’s really tough

You touched so many lives

And you tried so hard

To let people in

And let down your guard

You brightened my day

And could always make me smile

You reached out to me

Like nobody has for quite awhile

Your boat of a car

Seemed to fit you so well

It was like you…a soft interior

With a tough outer shell

Now when I sit down

And see that the empty seat beside me

I have faith that you are still there

Helping me to breathe

You offered me help

And a lot of support

You were so loved

But your life was cut too short

The greatest message you left me

Is to never back down

To look at the beautiful sunshine

And not down at the ground

To fight for what you want

And strive for what you need

These are the reasons

You were so important to me

You lived just long enough

To know that I was OK

Now, in your honor

I will always live for today

I love you Kristen.

I hope you found your peace.
