Uit de Verenigde Staten kreeg ik van een goede vriend dit gedicht toegestuurd:
My Forever Friend
I know that it must be different
now that I'm no longer here.
I can see how much I was loved,
and how you did care.
I'm sure it is hard when
you look around for me, hoping
to find me lying on the floor,
anxious to hear your footsteps.
But someday what you will
begin to see, although it'll take
some time, is that you
brought happiness to me
and forever it will be mine.
Remember it's you I had that
meant the most to me.
So please don't be sad, it was justmy time to leave.
