Dearest friend
Elizca Martens 2005 (Pretoria)
Cry, dearest friend
let tears fall
when rolling down cheeks
my shoulder catching all
Mourn, dearest friend
for strangers to death
for hermits forgotten
and lonely last breath
Hold on, dearest friend
sorrows soon pass
memories of laugh
will long last
Sleep, dearest friend
rest for now
escape to dreams
until the world is well
